[photo-3d] freeviewing cha-cha negatives

["Robert J. Vaughan" <k0mz@xxxxxxxx>]

While making cha-cha shots, I have found that if one makes the l/r
sequence with the same direction as the film moves in the camera, the
negatives are not pseudo-stereo but are automatically transposed.  My
Canon moves the film from left to right so I make the pair
"left,move,right".  I also have an old 828 bantam camera that moves the
film from right to left so the shooting sequence is right,move,left.  If
I am stuck on the right side of an airplane with my Leica or Canon, I
invert the camera so my pairs are sequenced the same direction as the
film moves in the camera.  (For a Realist user that camera position would
be more normal anyway as the release is on the left and viewing is at the
bottom.)
