Re: View-Master toy?

I'd sure like to know.  We've got V-M experts on the list
who can probably tell us.  Seems like most everyone had a
V-M as a child so now all Tyco has to do is market a
V-M-Adult version of the viewer and some V-M-Adult reels
and they would have it made.  I would suggest a quality 
viewer with high-magnification lenses to bring out what 
V-M can do.  And don't sell them in toy stores to start
with even though I'm sure they could do that easily.  There
has to be a real break with the toy version to make it happen.
 
Of course V-M is limited somewhat by its small format and
the resolution of current color transparency film.  Maybe 
they should try to find a really high-resolution low-grain
film to do their reels with.  In fact Realist format is a
little limited by film.  You have to go clear up to medium
format stereo to get away from film limitations.  However,
I think V-M could do better if they worked with a major film
company.
