Re: Nimslo innocent?

Thank you Bob Howard for an informing and interesting article on the Nimslo.
Too much mystery has surrounded it's demise, and it's nice to get part of
the story clear anyway. Didn't they also have a big contract with Sears that
fell through?


It certainly is the only quality stereo 3D camera in the last 30 or so years
that has attempted to reach the average consumer, and hopefully not the
last. It wasn't easy to find when I got mine in the mid 80's, and the lenses
can't be beat. The lesson learned seems to be in getting the public to
accept the concept, not in reducing the price and/or quality of the product.

Regarding the "disposable camera" concept, it just seems totally against
everything logical. Not exactly environmentally friendly. Perhaps they will
have it manufactured by child-slave labor and lubricated with whale oil just
to be consistent.

IT'S THE END OF THE CENTURY DARNIT, IS THIS THE BEST THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER???
