Slides vs Prints

[P3D <jgore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alan asked about slides vs prints. Well, I have just started taking 
3D pictures myself and can tell you slides are better. I am having my 
first slide roll done this week at Kodalux. I have previously had a 
roll of prints made. Prints are bulky, just as much trouble to mount,
and probably cost more to do than slides. With slides you just send 
them in and Kodalux (or somoene) does the rest. 
Some people mount their own slides (I think most of the people on 
this mailing list). I just want to have fun taking pictures and don't 
want to mess with mounting them.
As far as worrying about exposure, a light meter can solve your 
problems I bet. I just got a Gossen Super Pilot for around $40 off of 
the internet (Online Camera Exchange - which also lists STEREO 
CAMERA'S ). 
To tell you the truth, my Realist did very well with just my guessing
at what all the settings should be. The negatives looked very good.
One last thing, with prints they can mess up the exposure (make one 
print look light and the other dark). It doesn't look to bad in 
stereo, but it doesn't help things either. With slides both pictures 
come out the same!
