View Master: California State Tour

For those of you with View-Masters, this is a nice tour of California. They hit all the best sights of this beautiful state.

These View Master reels are not what they used to be. First, they are pretty flimsy compared to the reels of yesteryear. They don't settle into position very easily, and often have to be jiggled. (It's possible that is a consequence of the cheaper view master viewer they make today.)Second, the quality of these California pictures is pretty low. I was looking forward to some nice views of CA icons, but these are so poor that a child would have trouble making out what some of them are. The layering in these pictures is there but perhaps it is the poor quality of the pictures that makes the layering pointless. They seem out of focus, and for a child, many would be hard to decipher.Another really nice toy dragged down the drain by poor quality. The current manufacturer surely has no idea what the View-Master is supposed to look like.
