P3D The $100 is still not claimed (was: Instant Anaglyphs)

Not so fast.  I haven't seen any images yet, although there have been
plenty of claims.  Reminds me of a recent conversation on speed comparisons
between Realists and Kodaks.  :^)

Yes, I'd like very much to see your images.  So far all I've been shown are
duotones and greyscales, which hardly qualify as full color images.

Just as a hedge against topic drift, let's recall our subject:

1. Someone suggested an instant anaglyph camera, with complimentary filters
over each lens.
2. Among other problems, I pointed out this would produce color
seperations, not anaglyphs.
3. Someone claimed this setup would make a "full color" anaglyph.
4. I stated that full color could not be achieved using this method.
5. To prove my point, I offered $100 for an example.

I've gotten a lot of stuff, but nothing approaching the claim above.
(High- and low-pass filters don't count, and neither do partially
transparent filters.  They're not regular complimentary filters. And
leaving an unfiltered gap is also cheating.)

The $100 is still unclaimed.
