In the last (also, definitively the latest, R.I.P.) _3D-Magazin_, as part
of coverage of the big 1998 Photokina trade show, there is mention of a
stereoviewer, available for either 2x2 or R-format, that uses two EMO-Optik
(Wetzlar) loupes.  EMO makes the bracket that "twins" the loupes for a
stereo view, and gives a variable interocular.  Anyone on the continent
have any more information on this.  I'd like to see / get one no later than
at the ISU Congress in Sept.99.

I've had one of these for about 4 years. Optically,  IMO these loupes are
simply unparalleled! The EMO bracket does twin the loupes and provides
interocular, vertical and even rotation adjustment. It is for 2X2 format
only and is steal the light, although one could affix it to a light source
with a little tinkering. Of course each loupe is separately focusing. They
pop off the Stereo Fix very easily for use as standard loupes. They are five
power and the whole arrangement is very light weight, easy to hold without
strain. Corner to corner coverage of full frame 35mm slides is
distortionless. All slide mounts fit, including Wess glass mounts.
