Re: [photo-3d] Re: Ricoh XR10M Synch

["Allan Griffin" <agriffin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sheldon, Ray and All,

Because I am still in business with Konicas, I don't own
any Ricohs other than the RBT X2.  You could be right
on the button with your question about the "wake-up"
feature, Sheldon.
Ray Moxom, can I ask you here, why would you go to
the trouble of doing the master/slave thing if the KR-10Ms
are as good as Gary and Sheldon say? Also, what is your
reaction to the bit about the "wake-up" situation?  Is it
possible that those of us, who like to know just what the
differential is, are being caught out by this wake-up thing?
I guess if users feel that they are getting 100% synch, then 
thats the most anyone could want.

Allan
