P3D Re: New Camera Alert

[Peter Homer <P.J.Homer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This Nickelodeon camera sound similar to the Selby revolver or as it was
called when it apeared in the UK the Action Tracker. This was perhaps a
little better for stereo as it took four pictures in sequence at a time the
intention being to capture stages of motion as the name suggests. The
seperation was not much but I used it for close ups with an even smaller
seperation if  held verticaly and I used a close up lens. There was a
rectangular area on the front which made a usefull lens holder if you
removed one side of the rectangle and I used a rectangular lens . With this
I managed to get a reasonable stereo close up of a cactus in flower. There
was talk of a 8 lens version to be called the Octopus but it did not
materialise, I thought this might have been usefull for moving 3D
lenticulars. P.J.Homer
