Brenda asked about the printing frame; now I'm curious about the
viewer. I've just been advised that "In the USSR in the sixties,
when you bought a Sputnik, you also got a Gomz stereo viewer."
Is the Gomz viewer the one you refer to Tom?
More generally, just what is a Gomz viewer? Print or slide viewer?
What focal length and diameter are the lenses? Does a person wearing
glasses find it convenient to use?
Also, what might be meant by "a Russian stereo macro adapter unit"
that someone acquired with their Gomz viewer?
Thanks!
