[photo-3d] Was : Copying Glass Slide - Should have been Copying Glass Negs.

["Phil Palmer" <phil_palmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I mentioned last week I was borrowing some Glass Slides from the Local
history Museum.  Well I now have them in my possession and It turns out they
are actually negatives.

The 'chip' sizes are approximately 5" (height) by 3" (width).  The image
height is a bit less as there is wastage at the top and bottom.
It seems to me that to create a Holmes Stereocard is basically a
straightforward contact print and a bit of cropping.
I'd still like to produce something that I can mount in 35mm RBT mounts
(this is probably heresy amongst Medium Format types :-/ ) what are my
options -
1. I could presumably photography the contact print onto slide film (I'm not
too keen on this idea as it is 2 generations away from the original).
2. You'll have to excuse my ignorance here but how good or bad an image
would I end up with if I photographed the Glass neg using Black and White
Negative film and mounted this? Are there contrast issues? Is there a
specialist film for doing something like this?

Thanks
