This "designed and built" puzzles me.  What exactly did you do?

I too define "real stereo cameras" as cameras designed to take stereo
pairs.  Putting together two SLRs and struggling to make them perform a
function that they were not designed to perform and fighting against
everything that can go wrong (specifically: unmatching focal lengths,
unmatching exposures, unmatching focusing, and, most important, not
synchronized shutters) is not my idea of a real stereo camera.
