Anyone interested in the Steritar A cited in the previous listserv post 
may find the following of value:

The article by Otto Vierling shows the Steritar A. Looks like a nice 
quality prism-type beamsplitter. The near point of the taking range is 
described at being approximately 8 ft (2.5 m) in front of the camera. 
Also noted, "If a greater stop than f/5.6 must be used it is advisable to 
ensure sufficient separation by using the separator, which can be 
inserted into two bushings of the prism attachment. The separator is 
supplied with each Steritar." also "The Steritar A for the Contaflex 
Models I and II with the 45mm f/2.8 tessar lens, therefore, cannot be 
used for the Contaflex III or IV, which have a 50mm Tessar. For these 
models the Steritar B has been designed, which has differently shaped 
prosms and a different attaching device..."
