  It uses 120 format film but doesn't take
6x6 cm images. It takes two smaller images
that you trim out and mount in a 5perf
41x101 mount (AFAIR).

  It has a narrow lens separation which
some people use for closeup work.

  There is one up for auction on ebay
right now (with photo):

  For true MF stereo (aka 6x13 format) you
can use twin TLRs (2x$40 up), the Sputnik
($200-$300), Heidoscope or Rolleidoscopes
($500-$3000) and probably some others.

  Rocky Mountain Memories sells used
Sputniks and a MF viewer kit. Follow
the link from my web page.

Good luck in MF - Greg E.
