Richard,

yes, just load your Stereo Realist with slide film, faster is best  
because a higher aperture is better to get the best 3D effect  
throughout the field of vision.

You can buy a pack of 100 slide pair holders from DrT, George  
Themelis, very cheaply.  Whenever I take mine for a spin, I can spend  
a long time just looking at the 3D image.  Highly recommended for  
anyone with a high scopic drive!  Very pleasurable!  The first time I  
tried it, I swished my hand in front of me to touch the tree in the  
photo.

Of course, the best effects come from a good balance of foreground,  
midground, and background in the compostion.  That said, portraits  
work well with the sitter and a nice background.  It is such good  
fun.  I use it a few times a year.

You really should give it a try!  Of course, you can't share the  
results online, until they produce 3D computer screens.
