I only shot print film with the Loreo. The trick to getting good
pics with the Loreo is to NEVER let any direct sunlight strike
the lenses or you will have plenty of flare. 
The most common error by the labs was to print the negs as 1/2
frame photos - just one image on a 4" x 6" print. Why this
happened so much I'll never know. The line between to two images
is diffused, not a sharp line. Unlike film shot with a Realist,
each double image is also separated by a portion of unexposed
film. This was done by the labs at Kodak, Target, Sam's Club and
once by a local independent processor that I gave specific
instructions face to face! When I complained he said "oh yea, I
thought there was somethin special about your order". 
Murphy's law seems to apply double (or is that squared?) to
stereo.
