OK, Mark, now tell us the truth.  What is going on?  You like everything
except for stereo cameras from the 50s.  Why?  You are going from 4p
(beamsplitter, Nimslo) to 7p.  Why are you avoiding the 5p?  What is it
in your subjects that makes auto exposure an attractive option?  What
is the big deal with auto exposure?  Why have you ruled out a $100
Realist?  Why this gap in your stereo preferences?
