Re: [photo-3d] Projection of MF Stereo Slides

["don lopp" <dlopp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I  believe this is a major weaknes of MF but in my opinion slide shows have
gone down hill with the speedy shows, often not enough time to see the real
picture , hype in place of quality in many instantses. Several times I have
shown M F slides of Mt Rainier to People standing on same spot that the
picture was taken and they often say it looks better than the real thing-I
cant imagine 35 mm stereo bringing the same responce. Also I have shown M F
to members of the Seattle Mountaniers Photo Club who in the past have shown
much disdane for 35 mm stereo , change there opinions about when they see M
F  but they are left stranded as to how they can get into  M F .. I do not
have an answer to this problem,though I did  build a camera for one fellow I
have known off and on for about 60 years.Don.
