Depends on what kind of pictures you take.  I like macro shots (0.5 to
1.0 x magnification) of subjects with textures and little depth.  Things
like coins, food items (cerials, noodles, fruits, bread). These items
in close ups show a fascinating detail that is revealed via stereo
photography.  By nature these subjects shot straight down (so that the
depth comes only from the texture) have very little depth... 

My only problem with these pictures is exactly the usuable film width.
