2nd Response to Nimslo advice

I am known to be open-minded when it comes to different formats of stereo
photography ;) , but I cannot help and agree with Marvin here... There are 
a number of reasons that people will use a Nimslo to take stereo pictures
instead of a classic stereo camera.  The two most important are:

1. Easy to use, automatic operation, no need to worry about exposure, etc.
2. Lightweight, can pack for a trip, in a bike, etc.

I live in the great gray Northwest.

I only have a week to get use to my camera before I go on a trip to countries
I probably will never get a chance to go to again, much less take pictures of
again.  I do think I will wish I had a wider format stereo camera but for the
price, I'm still happy with my purchase.  Another reason I liked the Nimslo
was that I wanted to take pictures of my relatives just because nothing can
beat a stereo close-up portrait, and the Nimslo is great for close-ups (how
close is close?), as Dr. Themelis noted.

I have seen regular stereo slide shows and in some cases wished that the
picture was taken with twin 35mm cameras;)


Thanks for your "advice".  I truely do appreciate it.
