I am puzzled by this statement... My understanding is that
only the RBT "A" cameras (65mm lens spacing) have a built-in
stereo window.  The "B" models (75mm spacing) as well as the
RBT S1 and ANY twin camera setup with parallel lenses, have
the window at infinity, or, as Paul said, essentially no
window built-in.  Every object should be in front of the
stereo window in the "factory" mounted slides. How do you
get 80% of the slides looking great?  The closest object
is not "right up to it" but in front of "it".  The 3d effect 
is still there but somewhat compromised.  How much compromised
it depends on individual standards.  It appears not to be
very important for you.  But for myself (and Paul too) the
stereo window is an important aspect of the final image.
"Factory" mounted 2x2 slides are OK for previewing but not
to fully enjoy or show to others, IMO.
