With all due respect, my advice would be to find Sherman and Peabody's Wayback
Machine, go back and cancel the order and buy a Realist (or frankly, any other
"real" 3D camera as opposed to a novelty gimmick). It's a much better camera all
around, and its output is more standard. With a Nimslo you're not going to be
able to get lenticulars without paying a big premium any more; if you shoot
slides you're going to have to use the non-standard 4-perf mounts; if you shoot
negs, you're going to have to constantly hassle with labs who will look at your
work like it just came in by FedEx from Mars. Sure the Nimslo is a convenient
"point and shoot" camera, but that just means that it is locked down to a
standard compromise version of the familiar "sunny 16" rule, which of course you
can also do with a Realist if you don't want to think about it, either.
