Hi Greg,

    Yes, I am hoping that Zeiss does the job as I do not have this luxury in
purchasing used
lenses at this time...

    Thanks for the input on the films!  I have also been leaning towards the
Velvia due to
the many images in the recent books and magazines shooting with this film.

    Until I actually receive these cameras I cannot give you the stereo
base. However, it
    does appear that I will be a lot better off with it versus the other
rigs that put the lenses farther apart.

   I was hoping to print these in the 4x6 size to crop and creat the 3.5 x 7
or 4 x 7 sized print stereo's.
    Have you done this?  Is this acceptable for prints?  Also, what would
the ideal Achromats be for
    viewing these?  Also, If I went with slides, what achromats would
"enlarge" them for viewing in a
    box style viewer?

        Thanks,  -Stuart
