Two weekends ago, I had the opportunity to see the Magni View
viewer, produced by Allen Lewis, (3D Concepts).

The 140mm fl lenses were quite sharp. A, smooth, adjustable interocular
was provided, for the viewing of stereo cards. Separate 85mm fl
lenses were provided for viewing MF stereo slides, though no
adjustable interocular was provided. The 85mm lenses were sharp,
with low distortion, and showed that large diameter lenses are not
neccessary for quality viewing, of MF slides.

I am curious as to why the Saturn viewer was not offered with the
85mm fl lenses ?


Best regards,

DON

Hi Don;
The Saturnslide MF viewer kit was offered with both lenses. The
customer picked which one they wanted. Demo viewers at shows quite
often had the smaller rectangular lenses.
I think quite a few were sold.
