P3D Realist vs. Kodak from the chicken's mouth

[fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. George A. Themelis)]

OK, I chickened out!

That's the truth.  After seeing Bill Davis advance his Kodak with a
quick single stroke (without any accessories), I figured that
there is no way to beat that with a Realist that takes more than
one turn of the advance knob to advance.

I don't think the issue is the 4 operations vs. one because 1 of them 
(film advance) determines the output (the other 3 are done during 
advancing).

However, one observation during the convention is that most people
WHO WERE TAKING STEREO PICTURES, were using a Realist.  Including
John Dennis (Ed. of SW) who usually uses a TDC Vivid.  I don't know
why this happened but it is a fact... (second in popularity in-use
stereo camera was the RBT)
