    Until now I used it with temporary (metrology) fixtures and a regular mirror, I'm to building that design that has to also be a test bed of a lightweight/amateur 8x10 horizontal enlarger, I want to test solar fresnels and first surface mirrors.
    You would get far better quality with one of the folding Liesegang or Elmo models.

    Thanks Pere. Lenses I have.

    I will do more research. Beats setting up an Elwood for horizontal projection. Less space.

    The 9075 has two FXL - 82V, 410W and some models just one.

    I tried this 20 years ago with copier transparencies. We had a very high-end copier at that time. My source was Nikon Coolpix 100 0.3 mp

    Long before I even heard of LF.

    I now make positives by contact printing as I only did 11X14 reversals once with a guy who wanted to use my darkroom.

    Of course it was tried before!

    Good idea to protect the slide.

    Rear projection is also an idea.

    You set up a semitransparent screen and project on one side and view from the other.

    Very common.

    I would put mine in one room and screen at the doorway.

    I would be, 'the man behind the curtain'...

    I once went to a performance art presentation that had a overhead projector that live bugs were dumped on for effect... Creepy!#!!

    I too have used an overhead projector for this. A horizontal enlarger sounds like a better idea, if you could get enough light from one. Maybe some high powered LED’s would work. But I generally just play around with slides. The real trick is getting people interested in looking at slides. Free alcohol and food seems to help.
