Kodachrome and Tilt...

[P3D Gregory J. Wageman <gjw@xxxxxxxxxx> To: photo-3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks to all for your comments... The concensus seems to be that tilt is not a fatal flaw in stereoscopy but rather an aesthetic issue. I will now no longer be afraid to take more "free-form" shots with my stereo cameras like I might have done with an SLR (situation warranting, of course). If I ever show my slides to Dr. T., I'll make sure my horizons are dead level (and the shots aren't boring). ;-) 

As for Kodachrome, I've been paying $7.88 a roll for processing (uncut, unmounted). Turn-around is 7 days, pretty reliably. However, the cost and turn-around are the same for my E-6 films, too, through this particular store. Strangely enough, I know they're not going to the same place, because the K-14 film bags have airport IDs stamped on them (SFO and somewhere else I don't remember, maybe L?L), while the E-6 don't. Also, the K-14 comes back in a seamless poly sleeve, rolled inside a cardboard tube, while the E-6 comes back in a harder, split plastic sleeve, wrapped around the outside of a film cannister! Turn-around on print film at the same place is only 1-2 days, which is even stranger, since it's more work. I guess they throw more labor at it. 

I mentioned that I thought Fuji would process K-14 films; I was wrong. Fuji processing is available for E-6 slide films only.
