I just got my MF cameras!

I cannot get over this packaging... If the camera performs half as good as
its presentation, then I will be happy :)

When was the last time that a stereo camera came with a viewer, actual
(good) sample slides, empty mounts, and a mounting jig (that can double as
an illuminating viewer)?

This is a first, as far as I know, and 3D World should be congratulated for
putting a complete a nice-looking package together. All you need is a roll
of film and then you can mount your own slides and view them, without the
need to buy anything else right away.

This just feels unreal. We are in 2006 and film is in its way out, and here
we have a new Medium Format stereo camera, packaged in nice colorful boxes,
as if is going to be sold in TARGET or K-MART tomorrow. It just feels
weird....

I was not sure how successful this would be, after seeing the final product
and reading the many encouraging postings here, and corresponding with 3D
WORLD (and having the clear impression that these people CARE about their
product), I think we have something here... This camera will certainly
increase the popularity of worldwide Medium Format Stereo, even in this late
stage.
