P3D it's too easy, what's wrong?

[Tom Deering <tmd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just started taking stereo photos last week.  I bought a pair of point
and shoot cameras, made a spacer bar, started shooting.  I have the film
developed at a lab, they mount them the ordinary way, and I view them as
2x2x2 pairs with a hand held viewer.  They look great to me.   Next I want
to buy a pair of carosell slide projectors and polarizers and project them
on a silver screen.

So my question is, what am I doing wrong?  It's all very simple, the slides
look great, there's no mounting, the slides are perfectly aligned, and I'm
having a blast.  So I'm feeling guilty that it should be harder.  It's all
so easy, I'm sure I'm missing some important factor.

Is there any reason I should be mounting these in realist or european
format?  Is there some inherent problem with viewing and showing my pairs
as 2x2x2?  The pluses are that I have no mounting to do, and I get a nice
big film chip.  What are the minuses?

I searched all over the web, and couldn't find an answer to this question.
I was also unsucessful using the photo3D search engine at rocky.edu.

Thanks everyone,

Tom
