Re: [photo-3d] Discovery/Loreo image Quality - Loreo Viewer vs Holmes vintage

[quellen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Quentin opines to Greg: I suggest you don't bother with a ViewMagic, and I
have two. Number one it involves mirrors, and IMHO viewers with mirrors
don't help the image any (Just as Loreo/Discovery's images aren't helped by
mirrors. The other problem with ViewMagic is, you don't have anyplace to
put your view card. You put the card on a table and jiggle around with the
ViewMagic till you get things lined up, sor t fof. Maybe what is needed
here is an attachement to hold Holmes cards in the right place in front of
it. I bought mine mail order from Dimension Press, P.O. Box 83, Harvard, MA
01451-0083.
