  I am interested but I know I can't afford it. I would also
be interested in realist format projection but I can't
afford it either.  Like everything else in MF, projection
would cost more money (a couple of $1000 6x6 projectors
probably).

  So far I have only shot colour slides in MF. Sam has
been trying to convince me to try B&W, but I haven't yet.
So we aren't all interested in B&W or even in prints only.

  George, I know you want or hope that the general public
will get into 3d photography. MF stereo isn't the way for
them, in the same way that the 2d masses aren't rushing to
buy MF 2d cameras to get better 4x6 prints. But that doesn't
mean you have to be disappointed that we MFers have
different interests than you.

  MF stereo has advantages, but cost, convenience and
projection aren't on that list.

My opinions - Greg E.
