Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!  I will take all these valuable numbers
and chew on them a while.

My drawings were based on some quickie estimates of the magnification I
would get, depending how far I moved the lens away from the film.
Everything else was pretty pictures and guesses.

Did I do right by moving the lenses inward?  I figure that if I left the
lens spacing the same as the film, I'd have to trim off a lot of film to
set the stereo window.  I haven't asked anybody about this yet, but it
seemed intuitive.

I wonder what magnified image will look like.  I will cobble one together
and see!  I have a broken Ricohflex that's begging to be put to use.

Did I say thanks?  Thanks!

Tom
