 It was a bit tricky, because to put the cameras together it involved
 rotating one camera to put it in.  I was able to align the cameras
 optically which was precise enough for my requirements.  Doing this I
 was able to get the interocular down to about 65mm.>>

That's what I tried at first also, but I abandoned it because I found that 
without a spacer of some sort between the two cameras I could not rely on a 
firm enough connection to assure proper alignment.  Also, I felt I needed a 
frame of some sort to support a flash shoe and the remote button to fire both 
cameras.  So I compromized and went with the extra 10 mm interoccular 
distance.

 light enough to carry on their own using one strap for both cameras.>>

That's what I do, too.

I considered doing that, but decided it would make film changing too 
inconvenient.
