In the near term, the answer is... you can't. And maybe you never
will. The problem here is that you are holding one medium to the
standards of another. You could not hold anaglyphs to the standards
of a MF transparency. You use any format for the thing is is
designed best to do. You can not use your transparencies or view
cards on your tv or computer monitor without first converting them
to digital (ok, maybe you could make some kind of analog conversion
for the tv). I too think MF stereo slides are the best medium but
I also appreciate anaglyphs, viewmaster, and JPS's.
