Quality lenses and better shutter speeds! I'm normally limited to a
max of 100 speed film, though I did shoot 1600 speed once in a cave
in Majorca. I think the max shutter speed is something like 1/200th
of a second.
There is a really impressive difference between projected Viewmaster,
Realist and standard 35mm 3D images!

Is this one of the rigs for holding two standard cameras at the same
time? I think I've seen something like this that puts them base to
base. I don't think I've ever heard anything about how well they
work though. I'd be concerned about shutter timings unless shooting
still subjects.

I've actually been looking for a slide bar to try on some experiments
with a digital camera. They seem to be something of a rare item
these days. I've not looked to hard though as the tests I did by
shifting my weight from one leg to the other were less than
satisfactory (this actually works quite well with film cameras).

I've seen these advertised, they result in what I'd call an odd format.

I've heard of it, but not seen one.
BTW, for an interesting page on the different cameras that have been made.
