Re: Generous offer and 3-d popularity

Gabriel, I have done this for a few people and never had a Realist
returned... I am curious to see your reaction... I need to have in
my side someone like you with such long and detailed postings! ;)

OK, you fall in love first... We talk money later... ;) ;) ;)

Absolutely correct.

That's how I primarily use my Realist... Family and record
shots are first.  Art comes second...  There are good snapshots
and bad snapshots.  I go for the better ones...

These issues were discussed fairly recently.  I agree with what
you are saying (finally!)  But I personally don't care if the
masses switch to 3d.  I am not even sure that I want that to
happen... VM reels, 3Discover, 3D video, 3D movies, all sorts
of passive 3D entertainment, is fine for the masses.

Getting off the couch, loading the stereo camera and going
out to shoot 3D (2d square, in terms of difficulty), and having
to worry about mounting and viewing, is not for the masses.
Only for the most dedicated photographers.  I see nothing
wrong with that...
