Slide duplicating

[Jeffery S. Harrison]

Does anybody have any suggestions on where I can get slides duplicated.
Specifically I've been approached about the possibility of making tourist
trap souvenir slides. You know, those packets of six slides showing the
local tourist trap stuff that you can typically buy for about $3 in tourist
traps.

Anyway, the only ways I can see to do this profitably is to either take good
shots of various sights and then send the slide out to be duplicated or to
shoot a roll or three on each shot thus making in-camera dupes. The former
seems the more desirable since I wouldn't have to periodically go out and
re-shoot everything as they run out of product. So that brings me back to
where can I have this service performed? The next question is more technical
in nature. Would it be better to shoot in 35mm to get 35mm dupes or would I
be better off shooting medium format originals. The only problems with that
is I shoot 6x7 so there is some cropping to turn that into a 35mm format
slide.

Make your best shots, lots of them, shoot several for backup and
bracket the exposures and select the ones you want to have reproduced.

Just look in any photo magazine for labs that make slide dupes, there
are hundreds around the country and some will do them for 80 cents or
even less for quantity.
The hardest part of the whold deal is marketing, getting the stores to
handle your work and pricing to make a profit.
Good luck.
