I too am interested in duplicating my Realist Stereo Slides, and have
had limited luck.  First off, unless you use slide dup flim, such as
that that Kodak sells in 135 format 36-exp, you'll wind up with way too
much contrast, with loss of shadow detail and highlight areas.

I use a standard slide duplicator for my K-mount Pentax 135 SLR, then
try to center each film chip, while it's still in the Realist mount, in
the opening in the slide duplicator meant for the 135 full-frame flattie

slide.  It doesn't work great, I think I need to design some sort of
slide holder to do the job, something that will fit into the end of the
slide duplicator.

I then cut down the resulting images into a film chip size that will fit

the Realist mounts.  Sometimes it works, other times them images are so
far off I get eye strain when they're viewed.

Anyone else have any luck duplicating stereo slides?  How is it done
better?
