Slide projection with a good lens is also fine but you have to focus
like crazy, slightly off focus makes big different, I prefer a blank
wall, my matte screen is too rough. For scanning, my Nikon 4000ED has
very little DOF, not good for mounted slides, a film strip works much
better, it has resolution close to my Leica colorplan projection lens.
For counting lines on film I use an old Olympus microscope and view at
100x.
