What's it for?

 

[Terao]

Taking stereographs (3d effect photos)

I reckon the shutters are synchronised, thus giving you two shots at the same time with a few inches displacement. The resulting shots can be used for a stereo viewer.

I guess this one isn't as cheap as the older (mostly half-frame) steroe cameras out there.

I once met a guy who build his own 3d camera from two old yashicas. he coupled the leses with small bridges together since he ditched one VF for a buble level. funny guy he said he could project the slides for a 3d show! (don´t have a clue how this can be done)

anyhow..I snapped him and his rig:

Wow. That takes initiative and will. I wonder how many people have the expertise, then of those, won't laugh at the suggestion, and then who can afford it.

Makes the "collectable" old stereo cameras a bargain.

Now, who's up for a stereo Noctilux image? 😀

dang..I see the lens mounts are too close together...now what to do with my Noctilux collection 😉

Thafred, there are specialised stereo projectors. Expensive, no doubt, but projecting shouldn't be too much of a problem.

One could also take 2 slide projectors and position them side by side, have them aimed at the screen at a slight angle, focused properly... et voila, a 3d slide show!

ok I have seen these so called 3d stereo images before and not once have I ever thought it looked 3d...each time I look at the photos its just two photos sitting next to eachother and thats it...

It takes either a special stereo viewer or a bit of practice. Once you get the hang of it it's really amazing!😉
