P3D thanks, LaRonde, & query on Nishika conversion...

["Brian D.Mason" <bd_mason@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Ray Zone for his very comprehensive answer to my 'first'
question, and to Dr. T. for his wit. Now I shall have to try to
contact some of the schools on Ray's list (in September) to find out
how they managed to successfully print anaglyphs in their yearbooks.
So far, I haven't even been successful with our DeskWriter printers,
as the inks don't even come close to matching the color of the screen
phosphors.  Any ideas?

Recently someone mentioned an Iwerks production at La Ronde in
Montreal, not 20 miles from my home. Last time I was there (a couple
of years ago), there was a dinosaur movie with the pitching & rolling
seats, but it was only in 2D. Does anyone know for certain that they
are now presenting a 3D production there?  (By the way, we do now have
one of the IMAX PSE theatres using shutter glasses in Brossard, a
suburb south of Montreal. Unfortunately, the soundtrack is only in
French, but it is possible to hear a simultaneous translation through
earphones.)

Finally, on the $30 Nishika line, my tests showed apertures of f11,
f16, and f22 at 1/100 second for the three settings (or perhaps even a
half-stop smaller, i.e. f13, f19, and f27 or thereabouts.) I think
that the $30 I paid was not too far off its true value, as the lenses
do not cover the full frame evenly (some vignetting); the film advance
sprockets sometimes slip off the film; and a light touch and release
on the shutter button seems to fool the camera into behaving as if a
picture was taken when it actually wasn't.
But how can it be converted into a full-frame stereo camera? Has
anyone done it?
