Hi Guys,

Long time no see... :) I have now converted 100% to digital 3d.  I started 
taking 3d pictures in 1988 with a Stereo Realist camera. I later moved to 
better and more expensive cameras.  What brought me here was a fascination 
with the OM system... Unfortunately, I discovered this wonderful camera 
system a bit late, just before switching to digital.

Today I am using the compact Fuji W3 and Panasonic 3D1 stereo cameras but 
also the micro 4/3 system, with a pair of Panasonic GX1 cameras and assorted 
lenses.  I have made (and sell) camera support bars for two cameras for 
stereo photography with sliding platforms (one can also use a single camera 
and shift).  I have found a way to connect two of these cameras bottom to 
bottom to bring the lenses closer together.  If anyone is interested in 
these projects, let me know and I can give you details.

I have also modified the Panasonic 3D lens (only 10mm lens spacing) to take 
true macro 3d pictures (with such a short lens spacing, the lens is 
incapable of taking regular 3d pictures).  Here is a link that describes 
what I do with these lenses and shows some of my pictures (small size so you 
can freeview them, if you can):

This is a link to my web site, not an ebay auction, but I offer modified 
lenses for sale ($150 including the focusing bar and spacer to change the 
magnification, and also brand new lenses with no modification for $125 - For 
the record, I paid $275 for my first lens).  I have won a couple of PSA 
(Photographic Society of America) Gold medals in International Stereo 
Exhibitions with these pictures (not bragging, just stating the facts :))

Thanks,

George
