You must remember that each Realist image is 23x24mm instead of 36x24mm
for a normal 35mm image.
Therefore, the images must be mounted in hard to find Robot size mounts
which have essentially a 1"x1" square openning on a 2x2 mount. Otherwise
you will be destroying most the images by cutting through them, as they
are side-by-side touching on the film.
