Whoa! thats some wierd stuff on Cameraquest. Still it
looks cool and I did have one of those Viewmaster
things when I was a kid where you put in a cardboard
disk and the image would pop out at you. I mostly had
disks of dinosaurs and stuff, nothing you could
photograph today :) Its a cool concept but it would be
near impossible to carry out unless I had something
like that Nikon relic to view the images with, and if
I had that Nikon relic I certainly wouldn't use it for
viewing images. I'd put it under bulletproof glass or
sell it for 10 million dollars to one of those
nostalgic rangefinder nuts who are more interested
about the serial no than anything else. (when I buy a
piece of camera equipment I want to USE it not put it
on a pedastal and admire it from afar. I have a coin
collection for that.)
