I have a LEEP viewer and in my opinion  the LEEP pictures are very poor to
say the least- The LEEP optics were terrible and the plastic viewer lenses
are also terrible ===terrble stereo pictures. The apparent theory was cheap
taking lenses and cheap viewer lenses = cheap camera. Coinsidering the
results, I was not sad to see it fail- what a waste of time and money. DON
