You can find some direct-view stereo images on my web
page (under "Changing Showz") - taken with two 35mm
cameras mounted on a flash bracket and (more or less...;-)
symultaneously released manually. I scanned the resulting
negatives for the screen images, but direct-view print
pairs could also have been made. Due to the desireability
of keeping the bulk of the areas of the two images close
together, vertical or square images are preferable (if
projecting superimposed polarized slides, it doesn't
matter).
Hope This Helps
