There are a number, most of them make 3 prints from the 4 available 
negatives. See my WEB page:

Look under the "Cameras" link for "Where to get Lenticular Processing done"

#I put 100 ASA
#slide film in it.  I get it processed and specify "Do not cut".  Then I cut
#off the two outer frames, throw away the two inner frames, and mount the
#outer frames in "half frame" mounts available from Reel-3D.  Your "worthless"
#Nishika has just made you a slide viewable in any Realist format hand viewer
#or projector.    

I might add using the Sunny-16 rule, and that usinbracketing might be a good 
idea. The Nishika, like most lenticular cameras (and unlike the Nimslo) has no 
auto-exposure system, and was designed for print film lattitude.

No kidding! ;)
