As I was on the edge to unsubscribe from the MF3D, there came Paul Talbot to 
the rescue. He showed me how to change to the digest distribution mode, that 
is much better for me, Now I am in again.  To stay in this interactive 3-D 
encyclopedia is very enjoyable.  All those brain power and knowledge out 
there is awesome. Thanks Paul.

As for my MF3D adventure is ready but not yet started.  Meanwhile, I am 
concentrating in my 35 mm full frame 3-D.  Once I get some time, I'll start 
me MF3D.  I have a Pentax 6X7, with 55 mm and 165 mm lenses, 2X converter and 
both sets of close-up extension tubes.  I even made a slide bar for it 
already.  My main concern is about the 2 1/4 X 2 3/4 format may not fit any 
standard MF3D mount.  Are there any mounting cards can fit the 6X7cm with 
landscape and portrait mode? How about viewers?

Stuart asked if anyone can provide the film recommendations came out in the 
forum some time ago.  I have been saving all those goodies in my file, so I 
can be easily pull out the info he needs.  Here it is:

Question  1:   Does anyone have an opinion as to what the best daylight color 
print film is for MF3D work? Especially for Structures and Landscapes?  and 
Indoor film? (Weddings and Portraits)  -My experience has been limited to 
Royal Gold, Kodachrome & Ektachrome.

For medium format print work I use the Fuji line of professional films. NPS 
rated at 160 is my favorite for portraits where I have control over lighting. 
 It has gorgeous skin tones, good latitude and no grain up to 16x20.  

I use NHGII, rated at 800, for weddings and natural light portraits. Same 
beautiful look, not enough grain to notice, and wonderfully printable negs.

For outdoors, the NPS is a good low contrast, saturated film.  For more 
punch, like you're used to with the Royal Gold, Kodak's Portra VC is good.  
But you can also get Fuji 100 in 120 size, and I like that better.

By the way, the Fuji pro films have an extra dye layer to filter out some of 
the florescent green, which makes them great for weddings.  NPS is a favorite 
of many architectural shooters for interiors.   Dave Williams

Have a good ddday.
