P3D Viewmaster from Realist

["Franklin J. Flocks" <fjf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

       Here's an easy way to make Viewmaster format images from 
       Realist size: - Use a Viewmaster camera, project your realist 
       slides and shoot off the screen. - The Viewemaster camera 
       should be loaded with a slide dupicating film balanced for 
       tungsten.  I've had good results with Kodak's duplicating 
       film, and a TDC 116 projector.  With the camera about 6 feet 
       from the screen, and the F stop set to F16, exposure was about 
       8 seconds. - At the the time I tried this, I had only a 50 inch 
       screen. - I think the results would be improved with a larger 
       screen - and the camera moved back a foot or so.  I did not 
       put any polarizers over the camera lenses - and I intentionally 
       projected only one image a time - As a result, I wasted some 
       film. (One of the two images was unusable - because it would 
       have resulted in a Pseudo stereo, if I had tried to mount it.) 

       The results were surprisingly good, and perfectly acceptable 
       in a standard Viewmaster viewer. - although some degridation 
       of image quality was evident in fancy viewers like the Model 
       D. - Color balance was excellent.
