[photo-3d] Realist 45 / Iloca Rapid filter size

["Klaas Morcus" <k.morcus@xxxxxx>]

Hello John,

In the no longer existing German 3D-Magazin Alexander Klein wrote that the
Iloca Stereo II, Iloca Stereo Rapid and Realist 45 need 30 mm size filters
(screw in).

Very attractive camera that Realist 45!

Good luck!

Klaas
