What a coincidence!  Dennis, my friend at work, bought
a Stereo Vivid on a flea market recently and just shot
his first roll.  He brought some slides to show me and
he said he saw something strange in a few pairs.  Sure
enough, white flare on the bottom of the left image!
He asked my opinion about this... I checked the camera
but had no explanation about this sporadic defect.

Yeap!  I put it right there with the Realist light 
leak.  I hope someone can come with a convincing
explanation/fix for this.
