RE: In the Racecar race shot with twin cameras Bob Wier wonders if tele
and normal (or other diverse focal range) were used, could the images be
enlarged or reduced to make a pair???

The answer is yes technically if you oculd match some common areas after
images made the same size. The difference in quality might be grain or
soft focus, but should be a pair with the parallax difference of the two
cameras. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE in image as this is set by the camera
location as to perspective, NOT by focal length. This test descibed is
often done with a wide angle and tele shot blown up to match to show
that it IS ONLY CAMERA POSITION THAT DETERMINES PERSPECTIVE! BobH
