P3D View Magic

[Steve Berezin <sbere@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently bought a viewmagic and had a few questions about it. I have
used it in conjunction with a set of twinned Vivitar P&S cameras and
have been happy with the results.  I took 36 exposures and even though I
fired them with my fingers all but one shot looked to be perfectly
synchronized.  Just for fun, though, I am working on hooking up a
solenoid system to insure that the cameras fire at the same time.  

One thing I thought was interesting is that the manual recommended
toeing in on all shots. I imagine this is because most people use
cameras with some sort of autofocus and it insures that both pictures
would be in focus.  The dissatisfaction from the bad effects of toeing
in would probably be less than would be for a roll of blurry shots.

I wondered whether people have had better results using 3 1/2 by 5 or 4
by 6 prints?  I always get the smaller prints but I can't find albums
which hold them.  Also what mounting system/album do people feel work
the best?  Also, when I show the prints to friends they seem to get
their fingerprints all over the viewer, has anyone successfully put a
handle on the viewer to make it easier to hold?

Overall it seems to be a great method for viewing prints.
