4X5 dupe film is a very practical option. Depending on how you crop, it is at least possible to get two sets of MF stereo pairs on a single sheet. Coming up with a special film holder mask shouldn't be too hard.

In camera duping works for still life shots, but perhaps only if your camera is fine tuned enough to have a perfectly exposed image. I hate to admit it, but I still lose far too many shots from erratic shutters,bad focus and light leaks.

Perhaps the market may be in duping MF stereo slides instead of selling them!
