Subject: lens check TL120Date: 2006-12-12 22:24:48From: Bill G
Try this test with the TL120
Shoot the left lens only, slide the camera on a slide bar, to the left,
the exact distance of the interocular separation, take a pix with the
right lens... register the two images over each other on a light box,
inspect with a 4x loupe. See if you can 1) see different size images
(shows how well matched the fl's are), and 2) see if any parts of the
scene are mis aligned (demonstrates how parallel the two lenses are)
good stereo camera test...not sure the 3d world factory does this...
