beam splitter quality

[P3D Mark J. Shields <northws1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Sorry about any messages anyone has sent during the last several days, 
and I did not answer. My ISP's e-mail has been out, and no prospect for 
getting it fixed. So I gave up and went to another ISP.

Thanks for everything I've read, whether directed to me personally or 
to others--it has been invaluable in getting a very clear idea of the 
parameters of stereo photgraphy, especially with beam splitters and 
with actual stereo cameras.

I've sent e-mail to one person on this particular subject, but wanted 
to ask other list members as well:

How much better is the Pentax beam splitter than the Porter or the Reel 
3-D (Franka) in particular. I suppose it is made of metal, but does it 
use front-surface mirrors or prisms instead of second-surface mirrors? 
How adjustable is it? I did find the price of a new one and it is 
ghastly!

It does look like I'm going to get my big toe wet with a low-end beam 
splitter!

Thanks for any thoughts you have!

Mark Shields
