I too get a great deal of enjoyment from stereo viewing, much more than I ever did when I was younger since there was about fifteen years between getting both eyes done where I had no depth perception!

The Green layer in the older Kodachrome is rather transparent to ultra violet light and since human eyes cannot see it, this causes no problem in projection, or viewing. However, with most color camera films, ultra violet light exposes the blue layer. Some digital cameras do the same. I'd suggest that you try a Wratten 2B filter over your light source, which usually reduces the green portions of the image shifting towards blue in the copy. (A skylight filter won't work. It is not sharp cutting enough.)
Thank you so much for sharing that tidbit. I did not know this and would never have figured it out myself.

I continue to be awed at the variety and quality of expertise here.
