My Realist is the most awkward camera I have ever used - I can never get used to looking through the viewfinder at the bottom of the camera. The wide lens separation does give excellent depth. Just a pity that slide film is now so expensive.

Yes, it is awkward, but after a couple of shots I get used to it. Plus you can set focus for as close and as far as you want without looking through the viewfinder.

That said you can find Ektachrome e100 for around $13 and processing around $15 for digital upload. Yes, that's over a $1 a 3D slide, but then again, if you don't have a another 3D digital camera, it's still a great option.
