P3D More Medical Stereo Photo Questions

["Dr. Michael" <drmike5@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wish to extend a thank you to all those kind enough to offer information
in response to my questions about a medical stereo photo presentation.

Although I've shot stereo on and off for the last 3 years, I could use some
further advice and info.  I will be photographing (stereo) a surgical
procedure in a few days using either my TDC or Realist camera.  I understand
that since the lens focal length is 35mm, and since I must respect the
sterile field and not get too close,  I will not be able to shoot true
close-ups of the subject.  So the question is:  How close to the subject can
one get with a Stereo Realist camera, and when mounting, do I need to
compensate for this short focal distance (ie. increase or decrease film chip
seperation)?

Hope this isn't a stupid question, and thanks in advance.

Mike
