Remember, I'm talking about the quality of lenses used in 3D cameras,
not in something like a Leica or Nikon.

It's a combination of lens quality, overall camera quality, and the
size of the resulting slide image. A View-Master slide chip is
roughly 1/4th, the size of a 35mm slide. A Realist format is the
same height, but a smaller width than a 35mm slide (width actually
varies depending on the mounting of the shot).

What I've seen results in a "fuzzed" dividing line between the two
images, and you have to use what is normally a pretty poor looking
viewer. Actually one of these with a little time in Photoshop might
be fairly good for people that view their 3D images on computers,
which are a surprisingly large number these days.
