[photo-3d] Making a Stereomonscope or iconoscope

Many people on this list are probably familiar with the Bi-lens viewer
made by (I think) Sawyers that was designed to allow viewing of a single
flat 35mm slide with both eyes - This viewer has two eye holes and looks
very much like a stereo viewer - I've have seen them sold on Ebay for
less than $20. - If you chop off the end that holds the slide with a
hacksaw and remove the lenses - you have a viewer that lets both eyes
see exactly the same thing- I have done this and it works great.
Its a very strange effect - because when you view solid objects with
both eyes, you expect to see 3D - and this thing makes everything look
flat - in a way that viewing with a single eye does not.
(By the way, I made this viewer by accident - my original intent in chopping
the thing up was to produce a device that would make anaglyphs - I had
planned to put a filter over each eye hole - and shoot from the other
end with a mono camera - but it didn't work - when viewing from the "slide
end" - the holes at the other end appeared very small. )
