P3D Realist Critique - 3. Optical quality

["Andrea Blair" <asblair@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

>>>Dr. T. wrote (a very miniscule portion of the essay follows): ...Yes, 
the Realist has been as close to a "point and shoot" camera as a manual 
camera like this can be.   I seriously doubt it if someone with a Kodak 
or Revere can shoot faster than I do with the Realist.<<<

Why is that? Other than the fact that years of experience using one 
camera gives you an edge (I can use my Pentax K1000 and SF-1 with the 
greatest of ease, but give me my husband's Canon and I must pause and 
ponder the situation and vice versa). I find that even in the short time 
I've been using my Revere, I can shoot faster than my husband, who is 
still struggling with his Realist even though he has had his stereo 
camera longer. My Revere works basically like my old manual 35mm SLR 
minus the light meter - no *lefty* stuff to confuse me - and is just as 
easy to use. I doubt that you can accurately state the speed of yourself 
against someone who has also used their particular stereo camera for the 
same amount of time and the same number of rolls (by the way - what film 
do you use? I could use a good solid stock tip!). I could be wrong, of 
course. In that case, we'll just start calling you "Quick Draw" (or 
should that be "Quick Click"?).

Regards.
