Wow, DrT wasn't joking when he said you guys are a quiet bunch! Unfortunately, I do not have that much to add to the collective knowledge right now (and I hate...

Dawid, I just wanted to shout out a "Hello" to you so you didn't feel too lonely in the group. ;-) Dr.T is right that it is a pretty quiet group, especially...
Hi Sandra, Thank you for you message - I Just wanted to wish you all the best, and remember that things will get better (and easier) in the future. My wife and...

Perhaps when not working, we are all quietly photographing... Take care, Sent to you by iPhone from Dr Kevin Pernicano, Louisville, KY , USA. (Home of the...
Dawid, Thank you for the good wishes. One consolation, for me at least, is that we're not as bad off as some. I was able to find a job and it's helping out...
I have had a Kodak Stereo camera for over 25 years and only recently renewed my interest in stereo film photography by purchasing a Realist Stereo camera. I...
If anyone wants a super scanner, there is a Scitex Eversmart on ebay #260386939495. This is about the best one on the market, no longer available. Used to...
Here is an old photo joke, adapted for this list: In an important 3d photo assignment, you should always take two stereo cameras with you, a Realist and a...
It's a great joke and I agree with it, but it gets to be like political humor in that every camera has it's vociferous defenders. If I had a Kodak & a...
There is no question but that the Stereo Realist is nearly indestructible. The Kodak is more of a consumer grade product. However, the Kodak camera has...
Let me say one more thing: All considerations of sharpness and definition are magnified and enhanced by the use of a good, sturdy tripod. ... Amen to that....
Years ago I had a Kodak camera and viewer, like new in the boxes. The slides from that camera look much better than what i am getting from my Realist. I also...
I have to agree about the working part. Over the years, having regretted selling the Kodak I have looked at many of them for sale. The shutters seemed to be a...
Wow! Maybe you guys should start a KodakStereo discussion list.... I posted a joke but it generated some serious reactions. So, here is my response: I have...
Being a Realist owner for over 35 years and having never owned a Kodak Stereo camera, I can't speak to that experience. However, in defense of those Kodak...
I tend to agree with Bruce. I bought a mint condition Kodak Stereo 25 years ago. I shot hundreds of pairs until my local lab quit mounting stereo pairs. I...
As I said it was twenty or more years ago that i looked through the Kodak viewer. At least it had intraocular distance adjustment. Some of the cheap ones i see...
I have never had any luck with the Kodak stereo camera. I have used Kodak stereo cameras and I have seen stereo pictures from Kodaks in the Stereoscopic...
There was one thing I liked about the Kodak was that it had a level in the view finder. It made the hand held shots easier. ... From: Bruce McCausland To:...
... I never pay attention to the bubble level in the view-finder (if available)... I just compose looking at the vertical edges (a good idea in general), but...
For the most part, I try to use verticals in the viewfinder, but ever since buying one of those levels, I fine it very useful. Sometimes I'm amazed by how...
Levels can be a mixed blessing if you are taking stereo photographs aboard ship, their use can either enhance, or detract, depending upon the composition and...
Stereo Photographers please take note: You Tilt the Horizon at Your Own Risk. Stereo photography is a medium that is frequently tagged as eye-straining, head...
___ I've seen many stereo shots where the camera was deliberately tilted. I've done some myself. With a Kodak! If you think the shot through, compose...
Tilting up or down can be very effective, if that is what you mean. Tilting a bit side to side is not a problem when there is no obvious horizon (especially...
I hate getting film back and find shots with a tilted horizon. I got one of Dr. T's little levels and epoxied it right into the viewfinder of my Ektar 2.8. Ahh...
Anybody know where I can send my Provia film to have it processed without it being cut? I live in Northern California, near Yosemite, and can't find anyone...
... That's weird... There is really no need for them to insist in cutting the film. This is just an extra step and they can avoid it. Have you asked? I have...
I produce my stereo slides from digital files (see site.LukerDoops.com) on Provia film, which I take by bicycle to Nichols Photo Lab here in Salt Lake City....
Rod, Just FYI, several of the more interesting recent digital cameras (Nikon D3/D700, Olympus E-P1) offer digital spirit level views. Especially the Nikon one...
