Slide Mounts: my experience

[P3D <Linnstaedt@xxxxxxx>]

<< Reel 3D still had a few Albion mounts left for the Realist format only.
 When 
 these are gone, what do I use??  I can hear Jon saying RBT mounts.
 
 As I am, new in this game, could I get some other answers?
  Thanks.

Dear Dr. Tim and others,

Last year, I did a cost analysis of three different glass mounting systems:
 1.  Albion masks between glass.  2.  RBT mounts w/ anti-newton glass.  3.
 EMDE mounts.  (Being a cost accountant, I was in my element).  The most
economical is the RBT by far.  But what about quality results and ease of
use?

Once I figured out which adjustment to use for vertical alignment on slide
#1, the mounting for all the rest was a complete snap!  ;-)  For my Kodak
Stereo, the left pin-rail goes one way and the right pin-rail the other --
works for every shot.  That means great consistency for an unlimited number
of slides.  When you are mounting for projection, consistency is a _nice_
thing.  :-)

It's also wonderful that I can open up the mount and reclose it so easily.
 Sweetening that pair is so easy now.  My only regret is I waited so long.
 And wasted time, money, and stress on the cardboard mounts (which aren't
economical when I throw them away).  And the price of RBT's has dropped a
dollar.

BTW, this is not a paid testimonial.  I'm just a happy user with a lot of
slides, who projects in stereo.  Easy to use; most economical; top quality
results .... what else is there?
