[MF3D.FORUM:1556] REPOST: The Darcyflex Stereo Camera

>Some pictures of Darcy's work might help stimulate more discussion.

Perhaps this original message was not received by everyone, so here's the
repost. Darcy can fill in the rest:

Here's the first picture of my friend Darcy's stereo camera. This is the
one he built based on my Stereo Pro. It past the first tests with flying
colors, no light leaks, focus was bang on and contrast was excellent.

This was a lot easier to build then the one I made. It is based on two
Yashika A cameras. The bottom of the second camera was fused onto the
first, then modified for two frames on a single roll. The focus was linked
by a simple but ingenius pulley/sprocket mechanism, and the shutters used
the basic arm linking arrangment used on both mine and Greg Erker's
cameras. It has perfect sync at all shutter speeds as well as shots using
flash.The original viewfinder was retained for focusing, but he'll probably
add a sports finder on the top as well.

I'm hoping I can convince him to join our group if that's OK, as Darcy has
a lot of inspiration and energy from his newly revived interest in MF
stereo photography.
