The pocket sized slide viewer I really like is called "Slide Viewer"
from Agfa. (A friend has a german-purchased version that says "Gucki"
where mine says "Slide Viewer")
You insert a slide into it and as you push the slide down it lights up
the rear while you are looking through a relatively high-powered
(plastic) lens. It is quite sharp and pretty evenly lit. Much better
than any of the other battery powered slide viewers I have seen.
I think I paid about $15. I'm not sure where to get them, althought I
know I saw them recently at Zeff Photo Supply in Belmont,
MA. (http://members.aol.com/zeffphoto/index.html)
