No, but I also stopped by the Kiev/USA booth at Photo Plus Expo East
(or whatever they call themselves this year).

I showed them (the owner and several other people with Kiev/USA
badges) a pair taken with the Sputnik I bought from them a while ago
(the Sopwith Camel from Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome).  They were surprised
that anyone could actually take pictures with the Sputnik.  I think
they were also surprised that anyone was still doing stereo
photography.

By the way, they all owned Stereo Realists at one point or another and
a couple of them had done wedding photography with the Realist in the
1950's.
