That's not an OPINION!  It is a FACT!  Let me clarifiy this:  By "medium of
choice" I meant that the MAJORITY of active stereo photographers are working
primarily with slides still today, as they did 40-50 years ago (since the
Realist and other cameras made stereo photography popular again).

OK, I have not taken a poll yet but I can see what is going on in the
stereo photography clubs across the USA and in PSA.  Witness Bill Walton's
work to establish a strong stereo card movement within PSA, etc.  Even in a
traditionally print oriented stereoscopic association like NSA, most stereo
images are shown as slides in the annual conventions.

There is no question that prints are gaining more acceptance and that the
scale will tip over one day, but this is what I see today.

But I do not understand what is your problem with influencing newbies and
giving them the correct information... Why would they care what the
majority uses?  Let them try both and decide for themselves!
