One of the "problems" with MF stereo is that there are no MF stereo
projectors.  If you want to project MF stereo you have to have two MF
projectors, and you have to mount the frames in separate mounts.  This
means you can't use a viewer to look at the images.  There has been
talk about individuals building a MF stereo projector that would
accept standard MF stereo viewer mounts ("King Inn" mounts), but I
don't think anything has come of it.  Most people use viewers.

Alan Lewis <URL:http://members.home.net/3-d/> makes and sells his
Saturn MF viewer, and you can buy the Saturn viewer in kit form from
Joel Alpers at Rocky Mountain Memories
<URL:http://www.frii.com/~rkymtmem/> to assemble yourself.  The kit is
very easy to build, and the viewer is extraordinary.  Joel also sells
cardboard mounts in a variety of formats (35mm, 35mm panoramic, 6x4.5,
6x6).
