The "in camera" dupes has never been a realistic option for anything but
static scenes. How do you do "in camera" dupes of motion, portraiture, or
wildlife? Most MF stereo cameras I know of take a long time between shots
because of manual advancing and cocking,  further making the possibility of
a good match difficult. A show consisting of MF stereos of fruit bowls on a
table would definately not be as appealing!

What we really need is 120 dupe film and someone interested in duping for a
reasonable price, say 100% over 35mm dupes. Tain't nobody on my end of the
pond!

Hmmm... seems I missed them. I'm talking strictly MF Stereo here, and I
haven't heard of any definitive arguments for it yet. Duping 120 to 35mm
still seems more practical to me for projection. Please prove me wrong!!!!!!
