I was surprised to find that my local Moto-Photo has a 1/2 frame mask.  I've
made some "cabinet" type cards by having 3 1/2" prints made from the outer
half frames.  I've found the results a bit soft due to the excessive
magnification of the 1/2 frame negative. My favorite way to make prints from
my Nimslo shots is to have a local lab print 3R (3 1/2" X 5") images on 4R
(4" X 6") paper. This way the entire negative is printed, giving the maximum
flexibility for trimming.   These prints are perfect for making reduced
stereo cards for use in the folding Added Dimension and "Squeez" viewers.
