Do you still shoot film stereo? Seems like a dying art. Just had my RBT X-4 overhauled in Germany.

I also agree with your earlier post about stereo being the best way to memorialize people. Saw a stereo photo from 1952 of my grandmother and I in her kitchen.

For those who were not able to buy a Fuji W3 or Panasonic 3D1, the Realist makes perfect sense now that there are several labs who will develop slides again. I have a Realist 2.8 with German lenses and home-made wide angle lenses that slip on.

Buy some slide film readily available today on the Internet, have it developed, then copy it with a good slide copier and use StereoPhotoMaker software to create great digital 3D mpo files, etc.

I even rigged an auto-flash for it, since the Realist does have flash sync in the flash holder.
