[photo-3d] Re: mounting to the window/infinity

[Patrick Boeckstijns <pboeckst@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
This may be a stupid question.
How do you most people set the window ? I know the theory !
Now I use the plexi "Spicer mounting device" and off course the Spicer mounts.
Before I just used a "light box/table".
In order to mount correctly and set the window I used the transparent jigs
from REEL 3D.
I fixed one chip and then made sure the near-points and infinity points
were located inbetween the two reference lines on the right. I shifted the
chips until they did and then taped them.
With the spicer device, using also the transparent seems complicated. Is
there a simpler way ?
Do most people set the window just by looking at the pair and adjust until
they like it.
In the beginning I used to do that but it seems I developped a way for my
eyes to compensate for mounting errors. Slides that looked good to me were
a problem for others. When I checked them with the transparent it was
obvious the infinity points were diverging to much.
Does all this makes sense ?
