Just bought this 3D camera and viewer. I've some old Victorian stereo photos, and was really after the Loreo stereo viewer - which is the best there is, but this kit came up on eBay for not much more than the cost of the viewer.
So, bonus camera! I didn't even know it existed, and it's apparently rare (but not valuable! 🙂 )
Loreo Photokit stereo camera
Loreo's 3D camera was originally launched in 1990, and was improved in 2001 (the "Mk II" - identified by a change in colour of the front from off white to dark grey). With the demise of film, it was discontinued around 2010. It was sold as a kit with Loreo's Deluxe 3D viewer, and cost £80 ($120) in 2010.
Despite the low cost, it is surprisingly well designed. It has twin 28 mm aspherical lenses and an aperture of f/18. The shutter speed is fixed at 1/90 s (original) or 1/60 s (Mk II)l There is also a built-in flash. The camera takes 200 or 400 ASA 35 mm film, and creates two side-by-side 3D images in each frame. The film is developed and printed as normal 4 x 6 in. prints - which create a stereo effect when looked at through the viewer.
The camera lenses are fixed focus, and the narrow aperture means everything from 0.8 m to infinity is in focus. The camera is literally point and shoot - there's no controls to adjust! There is a low-light sensor to let you know when there's not enough light to take a picture.
