Did you mean the objects at 7 feet overlap?

I'm trying to use my grey cells to figure out if the centers of the aperatures
are shifted toward each other or away from each other.  Can you help me out?
And by aperature, you're not talking about the f/stop openings, right?  You're
talking about the aperature against the film, the frame aperature?  Doesn't
this shifting cause keystone distortions?  Maybe that is why slide-bar stereo
pictures look more real sometimes.

Does the Kodak have this same shifted aperatures as the Realist?
