[photo-3d] Re: Titanium Realist
Where can I get one of these?
The debate over the weight of Sputniks and Realists is enthralling.
George reveals that the weight of a Realist is less than a Sputnik.
Lighter cameras are better. Tom counters with an inaccuracy of weights.
But who has an accurate scale? I had to conduct my own weigh-in. By
golly the Sputnik does weigh a few ounces more. But the Sputnik is
plastic, so should weigh less. It must be a super high molecular plastic
developed by aliens. But this can't be good, since "lighter is better".
But the Sputnik is medium format which is better. Or is it? Where can I
find a light stereo camera, since "lighter is better"? My Nishika should
be light, but it has that darn lead weight in it to fool the aliens.
That leaves the Discovery/Argus/Loreo. Now if the Loreo were only a
medium format camera it would be perfect, because "lighter is better"
and you could have ready to view MF prints and slides (no transposing)!
