Stereo doesn't have to stop just because you are doing LF.  I recently
got a Canham DLC 4x5 camera and will taking a trip to Hawaii.

It's somewhat standard LF practice to shoot each image twice.  This is
especially useful for B&W so that you can develop one sheet and then
develop the second one differently if the first didn't come out.  For
color it's useful to have a spare in case the lab screws up
(scratches, lost originals, etc.) when making prints.  I don't usually
do this, but I'm planning on doing it this time so that I can shift
the camera between exposures for LF stereo.
