Well, back again, a new top 10 list of...

    Top 10 Things NOT to Do in 3-D!
    ------------------------------------------
1.  Don't use 3-D cameras that require batteries.
2.  Don't use a lightmeter (especially the ones that use batteries).
3.  Don't use mathematics to determine the stereobase or for
    anything else for that matter.
4.  Don't use $3 viewers, unless you can find $3 achromats.
5.  Don't use a beam-splitter or any of it's variants.
    Don't even think of calling it a beam-splitter.
6.  Don't EVER, EVER converge the camera/cameras.
7.  Don't take hypers.
8.  Don't shoot prints (especially B&W), lenticulars, etc.(ONLY slides).
9.  Don't stick things out of the stereo window, or God forbid TOUCH
    the window. 
10. Don't send your film to Kodalux

P.S. You can use an electronic flash. Phew!

P.P.S. I should emphasize for those that don't know me,
