Kodak now MOUNTING Realist stereo slides

[P3D <PgWhacker@xxxxxxx>]

     Am I the only person on the list who didn't know that Kodak will 
_mount_ Realist format stereo slides?  I don't remember anyone mentioning 
it here before.

 
      I just got back a roll of Kodachrome from my local lab.  Like most 
labs he doesn't have the chemistry to do Kodachrome, so he sent the roll 
off to, he said, Kodak.  To his surprise and my amazement the roll came 
back cut and mounted in cardboard mounts.  Nicely done.  No 
pseudo-stereos.  Nothing in backwards.

      Cost for developing and mounting 27 views came to a bit over $15, 
with the marginal cost of mounting working out to about 31 cents per 
pair.  (I suspect this lab has quite a bit of mark up for send outs.)  
Not great, but not terrible -- except this was Helena's first outing with 
the Kodak Stereo camera, and she mostly forgot about adjusting the focus, 
so 20 of the 27 views are scenic vistas focused at 4 feet.
