New MF Stereo camera

["Paul A. Lehman" <palehman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gang,

Joel said it sould be ok to attach pictures to an e-mail to this
group of my new "home-made" MF stereo camera. But first I thought
I would check with everyone first to make sure it would not
overly burden anyone's system before doing so.

There would be 3 pictures. I currently have them in a jpeg format
sized at ~150-200kbytes each. Are these too big to send to
anyone? Recommendations for making them smaller (alternate format
or as zip'ed files)? All three at once or one at a time? Rather
than to the whole group, to just those individuals that may be
interested?

This camera is the one I've been mentioning recently, turns out
it works like a charm. The body came from a recycled #3A Kodak
Folding Brownie, the film roll supports came from an AGFA
Isolette, viewer and misc hardware from a Model 95A Polaroid. The
bellows were hand made and it was recovered in "Moroccan"
leather. When folded it measures 10"x4.5"x2.5". It produces a
pair of 6x7 cm images using the 127mm Polaroid in Copal lenses.
The lenses are as close as I could get them resulting in an
ocular spacing of 76mm. They are fired with a double cable
release. Focusing is in 6 steps (using the original Brownie
hardware) at 3,6,12,25,50,and 200 feet. At f16, set to 200 feet,
image focus appears good from about 10ft to infinity. I get 5
stereo pairs from one roll of 120 film, with one single frame
left over.

Comments, interest?
