[MF3D.FORUM:612] Re: Thanks Paul

Kudo's to Kevin Chou for saving and retrieving the Film
ecommendations!  -Awesome!

By the way kevin,  I really hope you consider DUAL cameras as you will have
even more enjoyable results if the two images are snapped at the same time.
The little differences that pop up (literally) when using a slide bar can
ruin an otherwise good picture.  The mind instantly recognizes imperfections
like a leaf out of position, a flag furled differently, etc...

Good luck with the Pentax!

    Cheers,  -Stuart
