I too am quite interested in trying my hand at MF stereo.  I've been
shooting with my Kodak Stereo for about a year now, and decided that
using a pair of Ricohflex MF's might be the ticket.  I bought two off of
ebay this year, and found a douple cable release.  That's as far as I've
made it, I'm not sure how to mount the cameras.  I thought that I might
try a piece of aluminum angle metal, mount them that way, then affix a
tripod mount to the angle metal.  Can anyone advise me on the pitfalls
of this?  Is there any way to sync a flash to both units, and if not
could I use one flash on each camera?

Any advise appreciated.


Thanks!
