Re: 828 roll film stereo cameras

[scooter@xxxxxxxxxx]

I looked them up in my copies of Reel 3-d News.  I only found two, and they  are 
probably the same camera with different name plates. The xerox pic for the 
Haneel was very bad, but it looked pretty much like the Keys. 1950's prices 
quoted (new).

Haneel Camera and viewer set.  Complete outfit consists of stereo and 
daylight-model stereo viwer.  Camera uses 828 film; also permits 12 single frame 
exposures per roll of 8 exposure film  Price for complete outfit, $20. MFR.,Keys 
Stereo Products.

Keys Stereo Camera.  Rollfilm size 828, 6 stereo pairs or 12 single exposures; 
fixed focus f/8 lenses; simultaneous dual shutter, 1/50 sec.; eye-level 
viewfinder.  Price $27.20 incl tac; case $4.95 MFR., Keys Stereo Products.

Note: 828 film was discontinued many years ago. Maybe someone out there is still 
hand loading rolls for camera collectors? My mother's camera (a Kodak Pony 828 
non-stereo) was the first one I used that had variable shutter speeds and 
f-stops.  A very pretty little camera, a very similar model was made for 35mm 
film.  I wish I still had the one I "destroyed" in my youth!  Too bad Kodak 
doesn't make the film anymore.  I would love to take a nostalgic journey with 
one and snap a few shots.  I have a few Kodachrome slides taken of mom when the 
camera was new.  That Kodachrome is wondrous stuff!
