Expo 2000 , I think I should comment on it before I forget what I saw. First
I think that Paul Talbot deserves a lot of thanks for including the MF
viewer so that all could see the slides under simular conditions. It
contained slides of all qualities-well mounted and poorly mounted. 3 slides
were taken - 2 of Hawaii one of a bridge -all wth miss matched ( focal
length ) lenses which did not appear to ruin the stereo aspect of  the
slides ( how many noticed it besides me ? ). Some had exagerated deviation
along with poor synchronization - who noticed besides nitpicker me ?. I hope
Paul tries this again as words do a poor job of showing the virtues of MF as
compared with the real thing. I consider 35 mm very good for snap shots
where-as MF is good for serious scenics- as I have said before I consider 35
mm stereo a toy thouhg sometimes a serious toy DON.
