P3D New Stereo Literature available

["Dr. George A. Themelis" <DrT-3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An update on stereo-related literature to be made available soon:

A. "Stereogram Vol. 3":  This is a collection of 10 newsletters published
   by the Ohio Stereo Photographic Society in 1998-1999.  If you enjoy 
   reading how stereo fans get together in Cleveland Ohio and what they
   do in their meetings every month, then you will enjoy this one...
   In addition to the technical part (see B, this is included!), you get 
   illustrated club news, interviews with club members, competition 
   results (occasional reproductions of winning images) and more!

B. "Stereo With a Classic Stereo Camera".  This is a special reprint of
   the 10 installments of the "Stereo Photography Tutorial" found in A,
   for those interested in the technical aspects of stereo only.  The
   10 installments are:
        1: Overview
        2: Films For Stereo
        3: Exposure Challenge
        4: More on Exposure
        5: Shutter Speed and Motion
        6: Focus and Depth of Field
        7: Aperture and Hyperfocal Distance
        8: Normal Stereo Photography
        9: Low Light and Flash Stereo Photography
       10: Close-up Stereo Photography 
   In addition to this we have included a previously unpublished "Crash
   Course" in Stereo Photography, 4 pages reviewing the basic principle
   of stereo, quick history and ways to get started in stereo photography.

C. Stereo Realist Camera and Introduction to Stereo Photography.
   This is the book on the Realist I have been talking about.  It goes
   beyond just a description of the Realist Stereo camera, and includes
   4 chapters on stereo photography.  Everything is written from a user's 
   perspective.  Here is the contents of its 10 chapters:

    1. BASIC PHOTOGRAPHIC CONCEPTS		
       Exposure, manual controls, depth of field, etc.
    2. REQUIREMENTS FOR STEREO PHOTOGRAPHY	
       Sharpness and depth range control
    3. PUTTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER	
       Solid guidelines for taking stereo pictures in a variety of
       photographic situations
    4. STEREO AND THE REALIST
       History and evolution of Realist camera
    5. USING THE REALIST 
       Updated guidelines on loading the camera and plenty of
       illustrations of film loading and picture taking routine
    6. MOUNTING - VIEWING - PROJECTING
       What to do after you shoot a roll...
    7. ACCESSORIES AND ADVANCED TECHNIQUES
       Plenty of info in this chapter from ever-ready Rrealist cases to 
       levels, tripods and trick photography
    8. REALIST MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
       Basic cleaning, plus adjusting rangefinder, checking and adjusting
       infinity focus, etc.
    9. UNIQUE REALIST MODIFICATIONS
       Modernizing Flash Contact and 7P Modification
   10. LIFE AFTER THE REALIST
       Single/twin camera Hyper/hypo stereos, and more.

   Note that the first 3 chapters was the basis for writing the technical
   installments in B and also chapter 10 will be the basis for the
   continuation of the installments in "Stereogram Vol. 4".

A and B will be available later this week for $15 and $5, while C will be
available in the NSA convention for a price of around $25.

Thank you!
