I know there isn't an official count of who uses what, but I
think I would be fairly safe saying that although there is A LOT
of discussion about Realists on this list, they are not the most
widely used 3D Camera by those represented on the list... Anyone
want to make the list? 

For example, I have used or use: A single Minolta Point & Shoot
35mm (taking consecutive pairs), a Sputnik, a Nishika, a Nimslo,
a Realist, a Rittai, a 3D Wizard, a ViewMaster personal, a Argus,
twinned Olympus XA2's, twinned Nikon EM's. There may be more, but
that is all I can think of right now...

I had one, and no longer do. I found the "ghosting" caused by the
mirrors picking up bright parts of the oterh half of the view
distracting, and I did not enjoy trying to get the processor to
understand how to cevelop the prints. Too much work, for results
that did not meet my standards... That does not man it's not a
fine camera, just that by the time I tried it, I had tried other
things I liked better.
