"A while back someone posed the question of using the FED
Stereo in manual mode with slow slide film like Kodachrome 25."

"I shot a test roll on Ektachrome Elite II 50 (for quick
processing--I much prefer Kodachrome). It was successful
and about as good as shooting on manual with any camera, except
that with only 1/30 and B you have to be careful about camera
shake. I used a tripod for most of the shots because I was
interested in seeing how good the lenses were (very good)."

I've said it before but I'll say it again.  Fed is already producing a camera 
so it would presumably be not too great a stretch for them to design a fully 
manual version.  This would eliminate all my objections to the Fed other than 
those involving quality control.  I'd probably buy 3 of them.  Wouldn't many 
of you?  Isn't a brand new 7P stereo camera at reasonable cost the answer to 
many of our needs?  Why aren't we shouting at them to do this!
