Oh! That is true! 
I joined this P3D two weeks ago and I have been reading these 
discussions with very big interest!
I am 21 years old finnish physics student and I have been very 
interested about stereophotography two years now. In Finland I
had problems because I could not find any 3D related stuff/infor-
mation from Oulu where I studied, so I had to make a stereo camera
before I came to study here to Austria so that I could get stereo
photos also from my trips here in Middle-Europe. And now I am glad
because I have got some great rolls of stereo slides. At christmas I
was visiting home and I could for first time in my life see stereo
slides! My silver screen was poor, but I am very fascinating about
results! But now... last roll which I have taken (from these beautiful
Alps) shows me that my camera has done its work... it is broken and I
think I cannot repair it. And so... as George wrote... I am missing 
good situations all the time!!!

What would you recommend me which camera to buy next ?  and 
could anyone suggest, from where I can try to get them? 

I want to concentrate on stereo slides, with 35mm film. All
suggestions are very approciated!

Thanks for advance!
