I don't know what the f-stop of the camera is, however, I used my Konica 
strobe in the manual mode and got very good results on inside shots.  I 
would think you would have to use your Vivitar flash in manual mode as 
auto mode reads the f-stop from the camera and provides the appropriate 
light from the strobe (at least that's how my Konica works).

I would think an f-stop of 8 or 16 would probably be right for this 
camera.  Any other opinions?

Our local WalMart 1 hour photo department has someone who knows how to 
make 1/2 frame prints from my Kodak Stereo.  Perhaps you could see if they 
could make prints for you as well.  I did see the ImageTech lenticular at 
WalMart recently with a big sticker that said "Return to WalMart for 
Processing".  I assume they send it out to the lenticular processor for 
you (maybe at a discount??:-))

Hope this helps,
Ron
