Questions

[P3D Tim Stabler <TSTABLER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks to those who sent me their replies to my questions of a 
week or so ago.  I now have more to think about!!!

But, also, I also have more questiions.  But this time they are of a 
different variety and again, I will say to reply to me directly and 
not to this net.

I have read and re-read Ed Comer's "how to do it" on the Nikon Lite 
Touch and turning a pair into a stereo unit.  Since Nikon no longer 
makes the camera, has anyone done anything with the models that are 
available???  I spent the weekend going through Shutterbug and web 
sites trying to find used ones to no avail.

Now I am not sure if it was here or on the "Tech-3D" net that I have 
been reading about matching lenses.  Don't worry, I read so much each 
day, I am surprised I know what day it is.  Anyhow, is there going to 
be a problem with lenses of these unit not matching??  Does one have 
to buy several cameras to get matching lenses???

I found (and I mean FOUND) an Olympus OM-1n camera stached in my lab 
that much have got there when we moved into this building.  I figure 
it was purchased by a former faculty member but no one now knows 
anything about any camera so it now is mine (and I mean MINE).  To 
make a stereo pair for "regular photography" or for stereo microscope 
photography, I was going to get another OM-1n.  All this talk of 
matching the lenses has got me a little nervous about doing this. 
OM-ln lenses are not cheap and I would never have any use for several 
lenses as I normally use Nikon.  How important is the lens matching??

I know the purists will have fun with this question about lens 
matching.  The talk has got me thinking more and more of a sliding 
arrangement and the use of one camera.

Thanks.
