[photo-3d] XA twin rig first shots

[Mark Shields <beamsplitter@xxxxxxxx>]

I've got both XA's on the bar with test rolls inside. As far
as general handling and focusing, it is falling into place nicely
and not as much bother as I thought, mostly because I'm already
familiar with the cameras--very comfortable. The biggest hurdle
is actually pressing both releases at the same time. Because these
are such sensitive releases, it's easy to press one too soon.
Also, jerking them down will shake the rig. But it's quickly
getting better with practice. And I love being able to focus
with the rangefinder and being able to open up to f/2.8 indoors.
And the rig does slip into my briefcase very nicely!
