  Assuming this isn't an attempt at a very subtle joke, I'll
answer by saying that you just have to shift one of the
cameras over a few mm then you have the equivalent of a
macro camera with an "N" mm stereo base. Where N can be
pretty much any number of mm you want.

  It may not have been obvious in the original drawings
due to the limitations of ASCII art.
