P3D Re: 127 formats

[CanterMike@xxxxxxx]

In Digest 3731, Ralph Johnston was kind enough to post a URL for some AutoCad 
drawings of common formats.

<< http://www.ultranet.com/~copley/StereoNE/slidefmt.html >>

he then goes on to say:

<<  My next task is to shoot a roll of Ektachrome in the Rolleidoscop and 
mount the pairs in super-slide mounts... 

[snip].   The StereoHit pairs, although nice, are too narrow to mount this 
way.... >>

I would like to point out that there are a variety of "Super Slide" 
available, just as there are a variety of stereo mask sizes.  I cannot quite 
read the exact format dimensions as posted (they are just a wee bit small for 
my eyes) but GePe offers mounts as follows:

Standard: 40mm x 40mm (nominal) (style #6901)
Cropped:  28mm x 28mm (nominal) (style #6201)
               28mm x 40mm (nominal) (style #6902)
               30mm x 37mm (nominal) (style #6906) (This style has one AN 
glass)
               35mm x 35mm (nominal) (style #6904) (This style has one AN 
glass, also)

GePe offers over forty styles of 2x2 mounts.  The smaller format mounts list 
for $8.00 (the Super Slide mounts list for $11.50) per box of twenty.  Most 
specialty stores will order them for you, many at a discount.

So don't let an odd format discourage you.  There may not be an exact mask 
available, but surely one (or more) that would prove useful.

ps.  I may have missed something here, but where are you finding 127 roll 
film these days?

thanks,
