[MF3D.FORUM:531] Re: Exact fl match for paired lenses.

       Thats a fabulous idea... is there anyone you know of, who can make a
mirror arrangement to shorten my stereo base?    I sure would like to try
it... I overlooked this option.... the only time I have seen mirrors used
was with a beam splitter which would not be too effective with MF.....anyone
tried this before or know who could make one?

       This raises another question... is there any beam splitters available
for 4x5?  That would be perfect, 2 MF images on one chrome, with one lens?
I already have all the LF gear...David Lee, are you out there?  I am sure
you have explored this before?  Thank you..
