I use an Image Tech 3D Wizard and I've had very good results by using the
outer two images as paired images. I usually get my film developed locally
and have them print half frame prints. Other than occasional light
streaking, which I haven't found the source of, I like the camera. My most
recent couple of rolls came out quite spectacular as stereo prints. I can
send the negatives to the company and have lenticulars printed at any later
time. The stereo prints are far more detailed than the same images as
lenticulars.

It helps to remember that the lens spacing is pretty close together. Stay
reltaively close (within 15 feet or so) to your subject matter and it works
really nice.

Good luck.
