[photo-3d] Re: again those figures!!!

I'm back, and I must apologize about my misleading words.
2° is intended in projection (or in enlargement) as the maximal 
divergence of the beams from homologous points. Trigonometrically
2° 
subtend 0.035, a little more than 1/30 of overall width.
Like any physiological parameter <2° is just a guideline, in the 
sense that greater mismatches have proven to be disturbing for most 
people.
Usually 1.5°-1° (1/40 or 1/60 of width) is VERY impressive and 
there's no reason to challenge the fusion power of the audience.
In my previous postings I just warned against absolute figures: in 
literature we find 1.2mm as the max mismatch for 135 film.
This can be true for full frame 24x36 slides, but for Nimslo pairs it 
would mean 1/15 of width!
