Don't care. Projection hasn't been much of an issue to most MF stereo users.
Not that it isn't possible, it just seems to take on the table viewer system
much better.

 Is this the easy part? ;)

Many. First of all, you can do platinum and palladium prints quite
effectively as contacts. Even standard contact paper can give you prints of
increadible detail. Yes, I'm only speaking of black and white, but that is
the medium of choice for many.

There are medium format folios, but they are kept to a limited size. That's
one advantage of the realist format, you can fit a lot into a small space.

Duping is my biggest problem. I've never heard of anyone offering a
reasonable copying service for stereo. Anyone out there?
