Weights of Stereo Cameras

[P3D Ralph Johnston <copley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just took my mint Nishica out of the styrofoam box and took out the weight
in the bottom.  I happen to have a digital gram scale for weighing kittens
so here are the results without battery:

Nishica with weight            536gm
weight                                    92
Nishica without weight      444

Other specs:  shutter 1/60
stops:  f/8, f/11, f/19
lenses: 30mm fixed focus (4)
battery:  not needed, only indicates low light condition
Exposures:  12 quad negatives on a 24 ex roll (4-4-4-4 perf format)

I plan to tape over the center pair of lenses, and use Fuji 200 color neg
film, processed into 4x6 prints.  The best pairs will be scanned on a flat
bed at my job, taken home on a CDrom or floppys, and put on my WEB pages.
All photos will be taken at f/19 with two studio strobes with modeling
lights run at 1/16 power.  You waste half the film this way but film is
cheap compared with processing or buying RBT cameras.  The lenses should be
pretty sharp at f/19 although I wish I could focus them.

I would prefer to use my Realist but can't find anyone who will print the
5-perf negatives.

Here is the 4-4-4-4 format:  You need a fixed pitch font for this to look right.

Format "Nimslo" or 4-4-4-4perf
