Trick Photo attachment for Realist

[P3D Elliott Swanson <elliott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A friend of mine and I just did a test shot for a trick photography rig
using stainless steel masks, which works like the Powers Trick Photography
setup. The first test batch (done in .010 stainless, acid etched) had too
much variation in tolerances introduced by the technique used for the
pattern.  We resolved that problem, redid the masters and have a new
pattern at the etch shop. We did this mainly because we both wanted one,
and didn't like the plastic materials used in the original (and because
they're extremely hard to find!)

We may do a short production run if there's any interest, and the price 
will be about $75-85. Depends on the final cost for the base unit 
that holds the stainless masks.

We are only doing a stereo Realist version.

Email me off-listserv, and if it all works according to plan, I'll get 
back to everyone if/when we actually have a product.
