I haven't tried it, but I'll answer anyway. (I've been too quiet of late,
need to keep up in the stats, I fell behind last month). :-)

When one looks at a lenticular with one eye (which one does if using one
as half of a stereo pair) doesn't one just see *one* of the lenticular's
images?  If so, it certainly seems like it should work because each lenticular
photo would be acting like one of it's component singular 2-D planar photos.

Of course, with the lenticulars, one could change from hyperfocal to
hypofocal or inbetween by tilting one or both of they lenticular images
to change which of the images are being used (with a bit of distortion
due to the tilt maybe).

Has anybody tried it?  Isn't the equivalent of this what happens when one
uses a modifed Nimslo for realist-style mounted pairs (given a viewing angle
of the lenticulars that would pick the same images that the modified Nimslo
uses)?

Interesting idea!
