Actually, if I remember my service manual correctly, one lens is focussed
at 12 feet and the other at 39 feet.  Neither are at infinity.

I have mounted a few in 4-P "realist" mounts.  Only compelling reason is
if one wants to project them (which reminds me, now that I've got things
quasi-organized, and now that I've some "spare" polarizing material,
I want to test that unit for projecting "beamsplitter" slides directly
from a "regular" 35mm projector, so stay tuned, I may take back the first
couple sentences of this paragraph soon).
