P3D How good is the Argus?

[fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. George A. Themelis)]

Xochi wants to know how good those Argus cameras are.  I will have to
point you to a nice summary (from a user's perspective) that Keith Wilson
wrote for the last issue of our newsletter.  The same issue has a lot of
info on prints.  A check for $12 will bring you lots of good information on
basic stereo photography (all past issues and future ones for this year).

I personally would recommend getting a good Realist 3.5, Kodak or
equivalent stereo camera.  You can use them with slide or print film. 
Slide film does not require any special processing.  It requires mounting
though. Kodak still does that, or you can join the ranks of thousands of
stereo enthusiasts who mount their own pictures.
