[photo-3d] Re: Kodak stereo camera

["David Nadolski" <peaceablegrotto@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Edwin:

	Thanks for the tips on speed, etc.  My instinct is to go with 
Kodachrome, because Kodachrome slides seem to hold their color 
forever.

	I did an extensive search on Jess Powell, and went through nearly 
every search engine before I could find him.  One listing just had a 
phone number for contact, and then finally when I searched on Google, 
I got a page for Dr.T that had details on all his videos and books.

	My understanding is that the videos are designed to teach you how 
to take the camera apart and repair it, and the books have more 
general information.  Did the book seem to lean more towards repair, 
or was there a lot of information about how to use the camera itself?

	I believe Dr.T offers a "tune-up" service of sorts, so even though 
I'm excited to jump in and start using it, I may send my camera of to 
him first, and may pick up Jess' book at the same time.

Best,
David Nadolski
