Yes!  Photo labs cannot distinguish the "B" model's images from any
other 35mm cameras.

I have Tokina 35-70mm zooms on my X2B.  The added stereobase allows for
slightly more depth than a "normal" stereobase would, even when shooting
at the 70mm "extreme".  Of course it doesn't totally compensate, and I
do notice the z-axis squash in those pictures.  (I can hear the
orthoholics like John B. and Boris cringing in horror.)  Nevertheless, I
wouldn't want to give up the flexibility that the zooms give me.  A
picture I might have had to give up on with a fixed 35mm focal length
Realist-type camera might still be viable, such as when closer access is
denied by barriers, fences, police lines, etc.  Given the option, I'd
prefer to move closer.

Note also that I can see through both viewfinders simultaneously, so I
don't find the 75mm interaxial to be greatly "abnormal", since it's so
close to my normal vision anyway.
