Re: [photo-3d] Panoramic 3d viewing.

Brian, thanks for your info.
     I'll probably wait till the financial dust settles and go with the
Saturn Viewer.  I am currently awaiting the arrival of a bouncing baby
RBTX4BN (May?) and am thinking about the addition of the Macro.  The image
size of the XPan is 14 perfs, and I am reluctant to cut them down to eight.
     I currently am moving the entire tripod.  I shot 10 pics of lower
Manhattan, spacing each picture 5 feet apart using the "move-the-tripod"
method, so I could study the effect. Interesting.
      Been scanning the prints in with a film scanner and printing 4x10
over-unders and 6x16 anaglyphs. They aren't bad, but I miss viewing
transparancies.  Thanks again, Richard
