I was fondling the Pentax Lupe again yesterday at a camera store. From the
loupes I've tried, I find it one of the best. Project # 54,452 in my books
would be to scoop a pair of these and rig them up to be BOTH the taking
lenses and the viewing lenses for a wide-angle 2 1/4 stereo camera. I think
they are around 50-55mm, correct? I figure if they were reversed and stuck
in front of f32 apertures you'd not need to worry about focusing, and the
black square casing you make to go between the lenses and the slide would
invert into a lens shade for taking. Anybody gotta couple they wanna give
away for the experiment? They'd be great for Lester's new camera as well,
giving a close-to-ortho immersive effect.
I mentioned the HP slide scanner attachment a few days ago, but seemed to
have got the wires crossed in the response. Wasn't there a $20 attachment
talked about on Photo-3D ? That was what I was referring to.
Another silly idea: If flatbed scanners are light sensitive, couldn't they
be used for low sensitivety digital camera backs? I'm thinking of a large
format stereo camera of course!
In the wish-I-could-get-a-twister-in-3D department, funnel clouds were
spotted on the edge of Calgary today. DOHHHH!
