P3D Re: Print Pairs

[Ralph Johnston <copley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 4x6" prints put over-under fashion in a scrapbook album with spray
adhesive is the way to go.  The horizontal-full-frame format doesn't lend
itself to 3.5x7" stereo cards.  View the 4x6 print pairs with the VueMagic.

If you want slides ALSO, then send the negative film to Dale Labs,
Hollywood FL, and give them an extra $2 and back comes 18 pairs of prints
AND slides.  The slides seem to be individually exposed, contrary to what I
though I would get, (whole strip exposed the same).  You also get the
original negatives for making more prints.  The slides come in openable
plastic mounts.

To view the slides, use a Franca 2x2x2, or Pinsharp viewer.  To project
them, use twin Ektagraphic III AMT's with Brackett internal polarizers and
100mm FF lenses.  You can remount all the slides in 33mm RBT mounts and use
a TDC or similar projector but will only get about 28mm of the 35mm frame.
It is also a lot of work and $.  

If you only occasionally want the prints, then get them made from slides,
however, the prints will pick up contrast and not be as good as when done
as above from negatives.

Just my opinion, others may differ -Ralph
