Yes, especially if you used zoom or telephoto lenses. A lot of twin 
35mm camera users opt for 135mm lenses to somewhat compensate for the 
increased stereobase (usually around 120mm depending on the camera).

I find the zoom lenses (28-70) on my RBT to be invaluable. I can use 
the 28mm to get more scene in my cave shots where you just can't back 
up any more and the 70mm for great portrait shots without that 
annoying "nose stretch". I also find I can get some pretty close shots 
with the zoom at 70mm and the focus at minimum (you just need to be 
aware of the total scene depth to avoid too much parallax). Of course I 
do have the 65mm interlens spacing and not the 75mm.

That's all for now,
