If you mean stereo prints from the Nimslo then I agree they are awful. But that
is an artifact of the print process, not the lenses.

Without doing any measurements, I have found slides taken in the Nimslo 
are just as good as those taken in my Realist 3.5. Plus, refocussing the
two middle lenses to about 2.5' means that I can take pictures of flowers etc
without focus problems and without hyperstereo effects.

Try that with a Realist!
