No fair using me as an example. I am way over the top when it 
come to stereo photography. I doubt there are many people that let 
it consume their life like I do *{;-)

Sometimes that is a good thing *{;-)

I was pretty happy with my Realist until I saw the RBT and what it 
was capable of, then I had to remortgage my house to buy one. This 
just isn't an option for most sane people.

I have been mounting some medium format slides for other people 
and can't believe what I have been missing with my RBT. Now what 
am I supposed to do? The house is already mortgaged, does that 
mean I have to sell the Harley?

I realize what you are offering Mr. Shields (a Realist format camera 
and viewer) is no where near the cost of an RBT or medium format 
set up, but it is the start down a long and expensive road. Perhaps 
it is just better to be happy with what you've got and not know what 
you're missing!

That's all for now,
