Bob,

Some time ago I posted about a place I've found where the *Owner* has 
taken an interest is providing quality print service to the stereo 
community (I think this is what you are referring to).  The quality
is impeccable but you pay accordingly for it!

The service has been expanded to include processing and printing of 
Nimslo format (4 perf).  Same technique as for Realist: they mask to 
the negative and enlarge to approx. 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" (or smaller if
you wish to use the Q-VU-X mounts).

I will post the details to sell-3d or if anyone wants info quicker 
they may contact me directly.
