Paul's report               My comments
--------------------        -------------------------------------
>Realist 3.5  $185  ------- Rather high
>Realist 2.8 $375   ------- OK, reasonable
>Colorist I  $350   ------- Very high
>Colorist II $500   ------- !!! Extremely High !!!
>Belplasca   $1000  ------- Reasonable for US standards
>FED $300           ------- Model?  - Don't know on that

Here in Cleveland the demand for 3d gear has been rather low and
I have seen good cameras in camera shows priced as follows:
- Realist 3.5 = $125
- Colorist I  = $125-$175
- Colorist II = $175-$225

The Realist 2.8 and the Belpalsca have appreciated in value in the
recent years.  $375 for a good 2.8 and $1000 for a good Belplasca
are rather common.

What is getting hard to find (and Paul did not report on that)
are stereo slide viewers.  The red buttons have definitely
disappeared from the market and it is not me that stocks them up!
