The company just threw away several small Wild(Leica)stereo plotters.Could have

that way.
They now use a computer system were the user has on electonic 3D glasses and a light

Mark,
Inspired move - beautiful sceneries! Did you use the flash mounted
on the camera for fill-in or did you hold it sideways (Dolly Sods

I bought the Vivitar AF6000 on a whim (it was so cheap compared to the
080C or 160C). It worked with full TTL on the LX and also works on the
