Hi Dalia!  Why would you want to shoot with this "brick AKA Realist", "which 
is worn on the forehead and which takes a full day of hand training just to 
learn how to hold it"...? (sounds familiar? ;)) when you already use a light
weight wonderful Colorist II with sharp lenses?  And the MINT part will
not give you any better pictures either... BUT, just in case you are
serious about it, I'll bring one with me in Rochester, just for you... ;)

>...a Realist f3.5 that's cheaper than a viewer...

It is much easier (and usually cheaper) for me to find a Realist 3.5 
camera than a Realist red button viewer.  That's a fact... I have no 
control over demand and supply.  I am only responsible for making some 
basic 3-d tools available at reasonable prices... ;)

On a realated note, Jerry Gore asks:

>Are you a camera dealer? Or, just an enthusiast who sell's to friends?

I am an enthusiast who sells to friends and others that might one day
be my friends... I follow Marty's (what happened to him?) priority list
(as expressed in photo-3d about a year ago): #1 Family, #2 Job (real job),
#3 3-D. Even within 3-d, selling 3-d stuff is low in my priorities, taking
stereo pictures for my own enjoyment is first.  Given time constraints
I might not be able to help you right now... Besides, Dalia is about to 
reserve my last good Realist... ;)

Have a nice weekend everyone!  -- George Themelis, a.k.a. Dr. T.
