I decided to buy the closeup lens and accept doubling the cost of
film. Seems to work well. Short of getting a Macro Realist, which
costs lots, I don't see any other way of gettting stereo closeups of 
moving objects.

The Nimslo is an adequate point-and-shoot stereo slide camera, but 
since I have a Realist format camera, and learned my picture taking
on the sunny 16 rule, the larger format is nicer for normal 
distances.

As far as four lensed lenticular prints go, Nimstec does a good job.
