There are a bunch of us doing medium format stereo with a wide range
of camera setups.  I started with a pair of Lubitels, and have used a
Yashicamat 124G (cha-cha and slide bar), and a Sputnik.  Of these the
Sputnik is the easiest to use, but takes some getting used to.  You
really should keep it on a tripod, and focusing is best done by using
hyperfocal distances.  Others use various MF cameras, and some have
gone so far as to physically link the cameras (sort of a MF RBT).

Besides the Alan Lewis Saturn viewer kits Rocky Mountain Memories also
sells the Spicer MF mounts with various openings.

There are a couple of folios and the MF Expo just ended.

If you're in NYC Tom Deering hosts the Third Friday Stereo Dinner at a
Mexican restaurant on 85th & Broadway.  February's dinner is just a
couple of days away.  Tom posted an announcement a day or so ago.  Tom
and I (when I get a chance to go) usually bring some MF stereo slides
to show.
