Re: [photo-3d] Re: Medium format viewer

["Don Lopp" <dlopp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oleg may be right about too much magnification being too much for some
slides. Ifind this a problem when using my viewer which has 45 mm
optics-Velvia barely makes it and any other film, especially Kodak does not
make . It is probably like viewing View Master slides with a viewer with 25
mm (10 X ) optics TERRIBLE, worse than a Leep slide using a LEEP viewer for
different reasons.DON.
