Re: [photo-3d] Polarizes (was: Fast film in old cameras plus FEDS)

The lucky ones have Realists with Seton Rochwite polarizers, which have
linked rotation between the two lenses' polarizers and the one over the
viewfinder in the middle. Very handy. 

The little "viewers" referred to in another post look like they would be
handy for those who have the series V polarizers with the "stem" for
rotation and for holding the "viewer". Unfortunately, most of the
polarizers of this type that I have seen (I have a few) have polarizing
filters that are not in the greatest condition. I have a few series IV
that are in better shape. Is there anyone out there who could put new
polarizers into the old series V rings? Or into old Realist slip-on
filters, for that matter? Good polarizers are hard to find. -Linda
