It's 127 format - don't know about other manufacturers, but Kodak made slide film in that format for a period of time. When mounted, they called them *superslides*. Image size is about 38mm x 38mm. -P Mark Cassino wrote: > My sister in law asked me to scan some old 35mm slides, which of cours

I think you're looking at 127 photo size is roughly 40x40mm or 1.5"x1.5" the slides will fit in a 35mm projector. but you'll probably have trouble scanning them in a film scanner that will only scan 35mm film or smaller.. Mark Cassino wrote: > My sister in law asked me to scan some old 35mm sli

That's 127 format. Common to lots of inexpensive cameras of the fifties. I had a Brownie Starflash that shot 127, so I have several boxes of the slides myself. Paul On Jan 13, 2007, at 12:26 PM, Mark Cassino wrote: > My sister in law asked me to scan some old 35mm slides, which of > course >
