Dave, here is a link to Fuji site that describes the film....it comes on
long roll and sheet sizes...so I would say 4x5 is the easiest way to make
contact dupes, two stereo pairs per 4x5...its definetly the most cost
effective way...no lenses to mess things up...  The film is called CDU Type
II.  It is processed in standard E-6.  There is no reason you can not use
regular film either...but these dupe films are known for their excellent
resolving capability to help minimze any degredation going to a second
generation....
