I can understand the full vertical 35mm not readily lending itself
to the Realist format but I lost you on the computer format example
above. Wouldn't the computer example work well with the Realist
format? There both vertical formats.

I'm surprised Dr.T hasn't pounce on this yet ;-) (maybe he's mellowing
out with age, the big one is coming.). Sorry Boris but your way off
base on this one. Don't get me wrong I am very happy viewing slides
with $3 viewers BUT you can't compare it to a good quality viewer.
The chromatic aberrations are there. Even if you don't readily
see them they do diminish the 3-D effect and sharpness or reality
of the view. Look more carefully you'll see the difference and 
then realize they are nowhere equal or even similiar.

I do realize the there is economics involved in all this but for
someone that pursues ortho and professional quality images, a cheap
viewer is like buying an expensive stereo system connecting them to
cheapo speakers.
