I've made black and white prints from black and white negatives taken
with my Wirgen Stereo camera. I don't, alas, have an antique 
stereo-opticon, but I was able to free-view them quite readily. 
Main problem was making sure both prints were exposed equally, and
lining them up correctly.

I also made contact prints on Kodak 5302 film. Then mounted the
resulting positive slides in standard Realist format mounts. 
Effect was striking.

I used BW film while trying to learn to use my new (to me) $7.50
camera. In those years I had more time than money. Now I experiment 
with color slide film.

I have also had color prints made from color negatives from my 
Nimslo. I had to use a one-hour shop and bargained with the tech
on what he should do.
