However, they do have different characteristics which make some more suitable for some situations and others more suitable for other situations. Most of the prints which seemed overly contrasty were made with Kodak Gold film or something similar to it. These are excellent films, but of relatively high contrast. This high contrast gives the "amateur" (Kodak's designation) photographer the "snap"(Kodakls description) they are looking for. On the other hand Kodak's two main "professional" films, VPS (Vericolor Professional, short exposure, 160 ASA) and VPH (Vericolor Professional, high speed, 400 ASA) have somewhat lower contrast.

f you hung around near David Burder at June's NSA convention Iin Milwaukee there was a good chance that you got a peek through the Spaceshot 360" stereoscope he brought with him from England. Dozens of people who had read about the system in SW coverage of the Sept. '93 ISU Con- gress in Eastbourne (Vol. 20 No. 4 page 10) were eager to view the stereo panorama that passes before your eyes, gyroscopically activated by head movement to duplicate the effect of turning to view an actual 360" panorama The camera is a special stereo version of the Roundshot panorama camera made by the Seitz Com- pany in Switzerland. A pair of 21mm lenses focus the images on dual strips of film synchronized to The one-of-a-kind Spaceshot 3-0 move past open 4mm slits as the panorama camera in a promotional camera spins.

STEREO WORLD MayIJune 1994 IN Off-the-shelf, Fuser-Friendlv Software f you've wanted to try creating Iyour own single-image stereograms but earlier programs men- tioned in SW and other sources sounded too difficult, "off-the- shelf" software (SISware?)is now available at retail outlets or by mail. Used in combination with Windows drawing programs like Paintbrush, Corel Draw, PC Paint and others, these packages convert drawings you've generated into a single-image stereogram for viewing on the screen or printing. Many images people attempt at first just aren't suited for conver- sion, and definition and color will vary depending on your system. Don't expect to end up with the level of quality and complexity found in the best SIS posters and books, but with a little experiment- ing you can create some interesting images that are easily fused.

The Hyper-View Large Format Stereo Viewer was designed by David Lee and Michael Isenberg to provide the highest quality stereo image currently available. It accomplishes this by using front-surface mirrors, instead of lenses, aIbwing the viewer to see a large unobstructed stereo image (up to 11 inches wide, or 22 inches for the pair). Because the Hv~er-ViewLawe Format Stereo Viewer allows one to perceive the entire image from the ortho-stereo position, it avoids the distortion and image degradation inherent in lenticular viewers. In addin, it improves on other mirrored stereoscopes by allowing one to get close up to view details as well as to see the entire image at once. (Pictured in Stereo World, JulyIAugust 1993, page 13.) *** The Lame Format Stereo Viewer is available from David Lee for $125 (plus tax for California residents). Call or write for further information. 000 Also available from Hyper-View: Stereo images by David Lee and Michael Isenberg (formats include Holmes stereo cards, Realist or 2 x 2 slides, or prints for the Large Format Viewer). Custom printing of your stereo images from negatives to Holmes stereo cards, slides, or large prints for the Large Format Viewer (blacklwhi or color). Consultation on viewing and mounting techniques.
