Re: [photo-3d] duped slides

[Peter Davis <pd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this is a great idea!  I would certainly buy good quality Realist 
format slides of various locations.  (I'm more interested in other travel 
locales, but the idea's the same.)  You could even offer and option of 
including a plastic viewer, so the set becomes  a complete outfit.  In 
fact, you could also include a sheet describing cha-cha and other low-cost 
methods that stereo newbies could try.
