New Viewer, Hot Shoe & Vignetting

[P3D David W. Kesner <drdave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

New Viewer - I was in the local camera store today looking for something
(see below) and found the following in a BKA (Brandess-Kalt-Aetna Group
1-800-621-5488) catalog: Deep-Vue Life-Like Stereo Viewer #010 catalog
#DVC-LLSV list price $109.00 US. It is plastic bodied, takes two D cells and
has "pin-point focus". No description of the lenses. Does anyone know
anything about this viewer? It sort of looks like a Star-D only with the
focus knob on the side.

Hot Shoe - Now that I have a Realist (thanks again Dr. T) I went looking for
a hot shoe adapter so I can also use my PC only flash bulb guns. I was
hoping to to find one that was hot shoe to hot shoe with a female PC
connect. It seems that no one makes one, they are all hot shoe to dead
slide. Does anyone know where I might get one. I know I can remove the
adapter to shoot with the hot shoe or put it on to use the PC connect, but I
was hoping to put one on and leave it for shooting either way. Besides I
would only have to modify the adapter and not all the flash shoes (I use
five or six different flashes) or Heaven Forbid file the camera - Dr. T ;-)

Vignetting - I just shot my first roll of film in my new Realist 3.5 (David
White lenses). I seem to be getting vignetting at f22. Is this a common
problem with this camera or these lenses? It doesn't happen at f16. Is there
any fix for the problem?

Thanks for the help,
