George (and all), you don't need to apologize for burning film.  I'm of 
the opinion it's cheaper to use a lot of film than to see a shot and miss 
it because you were worried about a little extra film expense.

And, to toss my count into the hat, I have shot 3 rolls with a Realist, 
one remains developed but unmounted and the other two are ready to go in 
to Qualux for developing and mounting.

Then there's the other 4 dual disposable rolls I've shot this year.  And 
another dozen or so if you consider using the weight-shift method as 
taking 3D although not all shots on those rolls are 3D.

So, my actual all 3D count would be 7.  However, rereading your posting, 
my 1996 count is only 4.  The 3 Realist rolls are this year's.  Still 
better than Wolfgang Sell and Tim Stabler :-)

Regards, Ron
