I can't comment on the "one from Stereo World." That is the first I have
heard of it. I can comment on the Franka. Personally, I like it. I know that
many on this list will poo-poo "bean" splitters. I wouldn't take slides with
one but I do ocassionally enjoy taking prints. Its easy and no hassle to
view with a Holmes type viewer. The Franka has second surface mirrors which
to some purists is an afront but it works and it works well IMHO. Great for
snap shots and one hour no mounting processing.

I use mine on a Cannon with a Cannon 50 mm lens.
