When I first started doing stereo I sometimes used a 4x5 on a slide bar,
occasionally using view camera movements. In my experience the movements
have no effect of the viewability of the stereo image and I can't think of
any reason why they should. The bottom line is to try it and see if you like
the results. If you have any questions about operating view cameras, I would
be happy to help you out.
