[photo-3d] Re: Realist

Has no one ever used a 1950s mono camera? They were all like that!

ALL, repeat ALL the Realist characteristics described on list were true of
at least some of the Realist's mono contemporaries. Many mono cameras were
simply adaptations of stereo cameras. (I have got that the right way round,
haven't I?!)

Mono photographers enthuse over the characteristics of a 1950s camera in
the same way that stereo photographers do over the Realist. The big
difference is that if you don't like a 1950s mono camera, you can just buy
a cheap P&S compact. Not the case for the stereo photographer!
