We've been discussing, yet again, why 3-D photography isn't more accepted.

  I have always agreed with this.  The viewer is what makes the system so
different.  In some cases, the cost may be a factor.  Such may be true for
lenticulars.  It cost me over thirty bucks to buy a DISPOSABLE lenticular
3-D
camera, and get the shots developed.  The results were not very good, and it
took WEEKS to get my pictures back.  
  I've had more people show interest in taking 3-D when I show them
lenticulars than when I show my more impressive Realist slides.  Then...
when
I tell them what it cost me, they seem very much less interested.

  I think we need to start ASKING people why they're not interested in it. 
Show your slides to your friends.  A month later, if they weren't hooked,
survey them to find out why not!   We're just making assumptions, here.
