>The club I go to (SCSC Southern California Stereo Club) does both 2x2
and Stereo Mounts.  I think the stereo projector can handle up to 7
sprocket mounts.  They also have an occasional viewmaster competition. 
Hope this helps.  I think most of the slides entered are 2x2.<

Actually, the vast majority of the slides in competition at SCSC are
Realist format (which refers in this context to the slide mount, not
necessarily the camera used). Off the top of my head, I would guess the
ratio is at least 10:1, and possibly even greater. The club recognizes
three categories--"Conventional" (Realist format) and "Non-Conventional"
(2x2), plus a third category for first-year entrants. When the club first
began recognizing 2x2 it was considered quite controversial. Some national
competitions still do not recognize 2x2--there has been quite a bit of
discussion over whether we should open our own national competition (the
Hollywood Stereo Exhibition) to the format.
