I picked up one of the older model (G690) which has interchangeable
lenses on eBay recently for $535. It is a neat camera, seems pretty
sharp. I've only shot a few rolls with it.

Les wants me to buy a second one for stereo, but the 6x9 format
would require a different viewing scheme, either the over-under
like the View Magic, or Wheatstone viewer style. Thoughts?

Anyone played with adding lenses to a View Magic?
