If you are going to use a FP shutter anyway, why not go all the way and 
make it a DLR (Double lens reflex)? That way there is no need for a lens in 
the middle, could have a 2 1/4" stereo base, and you would have at least a 
possibility of also viewing directly in 3d. If I ever find someone with a 
Mentor Stereo Reflex camera (ANYONE?!?!) I could complete my version of 
this which has been on hold for months due to a shutter curtain problem 
needing to be solved.
