Dr.T used to call it like he sees it, but these days he's more diplomatic. :-)
Any ways, I've always followed the good doctors advise and took my
Red Button medicine. I certainly didn't want any chromatic aberration
headaches. I wanted the 3-D but not the side effects.

One day I strayed and went for a second opinion. I was promised the
Kodaslide II would be easier to swallow. I dunno,  it was a bigger but
supposedly better pill (i.e. lens).

I went ahead and bought a Kodaslide II. Guess what? I had to open up
the Kodaslide II viewer to make sure I didn't get ripped off with someone
switching a non-achromatic lens in there. They were achromats but
they certainly didn't perform like achromats, I could see almost all the
colors of the rainbow (okay, mainly blue and red). I bought another
Kodaslide II and didn't see any improvement in that one either. I bought
a few Kodaslide I also and of course they were not any better but they
were also not that much worse (than the Kodaslide II).
