P3D Realist a P&S?

Well, actually, someone did! I have printed Bob Aldridge's original 
statement that prompted my reply listed above. This is what I was 
disagreeing with. I don't think the stereo camera becomes any more of a 
P&S than a manual camera, as you can set the hyperfocal distance on a 
manual single frame camera, too. They are the same (well, except for 
those two lenses!). {:>)

flat counterpart, and that is in the area of FOCUS. Set the hyperfocal 
distance AND LEAVE IT THERE.<<<<
