You can see the image pretty well in a 6x6 transparency... I have a box I
shot with that Autocord back in ~1970 and its pretty cool, they look like
little extremely sharp color prints when held up to light. You don't need an
8x loupe to see good details, a simple magnifing glass gives a pretty big
viewing image.
There are 6x6 projectors, often they will project 35mm as well using
different lens and magazines... Rollei makes/made them, among others. I
don't know what they cost but I can guess... If I did a lot of MF I'd want a
6x6 film scanner instead, and I *do* know what they cost... :-(
