P3D Re: medium format 3d

[William Hamilton <camarin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I haven't yet started shooting medium format 3d, I have been 
gearing up to do so.  I've been using Realists and hadn't really thought 
much about 3d in medium format until I became interested in medium format 
folding cameras--because they seem to combine both high quality and 
remarkable compactness.  So, I've acquired a pair of Voigtlander Perkeo 
cameras that I'm going to twin on a bar and make stereo pairs using a 
dual cable release.  Total cost for the whole setup will be about $175.  
The cameras are quite good ones and are light and small enough 
individually (when folded) to fit into a jacket pocket, so the whole 
outfit is easy to handle and to carry around.  And, of course, they can 
also be used separately for non-3d purposes.  The distance between the 
lenses is greater than normal and so pictures will be hyper-stereo to 
some degree--but I think that will be OK for landscape images which will 
be the most likely subjects for this setup.  I hope the results are as 
good as I expect.
