One of my favorite stereo cameras is s/n 3345, a first production run
3.5 with Ilex Paragon lenses. This beat up old user was modified by
Charles Piper with a later generation winding pawl/film take up, DOF
guage, and shutter tensioning which gets me to about as close to 1/200
as these guys will go. Focus is tweeked to the max, and the lenses on
the old beast are just wonderful.

The early examples, both the 3.5s and the 2.8s (Ektars), are simply the
best of the Realists!
