ImageTech 3D Magic Camera

I just bought an ImageTech 3D Magic disposable camera - I figure this 
is a cheap way to get my feet wet in 3d.  I have two questions that I 
hope someone on this list can answer.

1) The camera has a hot shoe for a flash attachment.  But there is no 
clue as to what the f-stop of the lenses might be.  I'd like to use 
my Vivitar 283 flash in auto mode, but I don't know what to set it 
on.  Does anyone know the approximate f-stop of this camera?

2) It has three lenses instead of two; I know that's for the 
lenticular prints.  Could I print the two outer negatives from each 
triplet and mount them for use in a Holmes viewer?  The spacing 
between the outermost lenses is only 1.5" - is this too close for 
good stereo pairs?  And is there a lab that could print these for me?

OK, I guess that's really more than two questions.  I'm looking for a 
Realist or a Kodak Stereo, but in the meantime, can someone help me 
get some good stereo pairs out of this little disposable?

Thanks.
