P3D The sky is the limit....

Here are some other amazing things that my two eyes have seen:

1. An excellent studio portrait of a sailor with a pipe in his mouth 
   taken with a Realist-format camera with close-up lenses and shift
   in-between to reduce the base.  (Bob Maxey:  The sailor was alive!  
   And very sharp!  Yes, I am talking about a portrait taken using 
   sequential exposures via a single and probably very awkward to use 
   stereo camera!  Just don't ask how much film was wasted to get it!)

2. A table-top "Our Daily Bread" of a loaf of bread taken as in #1.
   If I did not know better I would swear that this PSA Gold Winner
   was taken with an SLR.  But we are still in the 60s...

For these two examples check the PSA subject sets in load from PSA.
Henrietta Tinay is the contact person.   

3. Great Hyperstereos also with a Realist-format camera.  Shoot and
   shift.  No need to cover one lens.  Just keep both pairs in case
   the hyper fails. 

I am not saying that 1-3 are easy or convenient, only that they can 
be done!  

4. Super sharp macro stereos taken with a hand-made camera using simple 
   lenses (simple lenses - not even achromats - you could buy them for 
   a buck or two from Edmund Scientific).  I am not sure I fully
   understand this but I suspect that the very small aperture used
   (w/flash, of course) has something to do with it.

Really, imagination and desire is the only limit...
