P3D the best stereo camera.

I read somewhere Iloca is the best stereo camera ever made, but I wouldn't
swap my kodak for it.
I read somewhere else Belplasca is even better (btw: I agree with that
statement, nevertheless I won't spend over $500 for one, my kodak is
handier).
May be Kodak is worst than Realist, but I found Realist slow & tricky, so I
dropped mine when I found my Kodak...  may be mine is a very personal point
o vue... But I've to shoot MY pics, not yours, so I won't mind if your pics
are sharper!
If  could (or wanted to) afford it, I would buy Stemar twin lenses+
beamsplitter (& adapt them to a M6 or to the new Cosina-Voigtlander body),
but I don't want to spend thowsands $ so I comply with ordinary
beamsplitters on my old spotmatic.
If I had professional needs, I would probably buy the above mentioned Stemar
+ Leica  and some RBT stuff, but I think I would also (or maily) use twinned
cameras.
If I wanted auto-focus & auto-exposure in an handy body, and I could (wanted
to) afford it, I would buy the RBT model resulting from 2 Konica Hexar
cameras.
Photo magazines & NGs are often filled by endless teasing discussions about
"is Nikon better than Canon?", comparing particular hidden, seldom used,
fancy features. Yes, some amateur photographers want to own "the best", but
perhaps they forget the "user interface": I mean if one wants to "use", not
only to "own" a camera, I think it's the camera that must comply with the
potographer, not forcedly vice-versa.
