Brenda, Brenda... You've already started a major thread on Triad
vs. TDC, do you really want to start a Realist vs. Kodak thread???

Just kiddding!  The Triad vs. TDC is a first for photo-3d and we
should thank you for that.  The Realist vs. Kodak comes and goes...
I think Bill Davis summed the strengths and weaknesses of the
Kodak very well and hinted some of the extra features on the
Realist that might make a difference for some people.

I am convinced that the optical quality of the lenses in the two
cameras (Kodak vs. Realist 3.5) is about the same, with differences
between different cameras of the same brand being some times more
important than differences between the two brands.  So, choose a
Kodak for the convenience and ease of operation or a Realist for
its secondary functions as a weapon or door stop, and take plenty
of stereo pictures with the camera of your choice!

>However, there was discussion recently about the lenses not being

>misunderstand?  What was that about?

Yes, that was something totally unrelated... In some rare instances
stereo cameras might have two unmatched lenses... 

Have fun with your Kodak!

did not work out... so, I am still using a Realist :-))
