Re: Is it a Stereo Camera?

I propose the following definititons...

Stereo camera:  A camera designed by the manufacturer to take a set of two 
or more photos simultaneously with a pre-set interocular distance.  A 
Stereo Camera has a single film path, linked shutters, linked focusing and 
matched lenses.  This would include all our favorites (Realist, kodak, 
etc...) as well as the "hand made" cut-n-paste pairs.

Stereo setup:  Any configuration of one or more single lensed cameras 
which, when used by the owner, is capable of taking two or more photos of 
a scene, offset by an interocular distance pre-determined by the 
photographer.  This would include dual camera setups, slide bars, and even 
the "weight shift" method.

Does THIS clarify everything?
Ron
