Not yet.

Yes.

No.

19mm.

Okay, fun over. Yes it's a 4p camera and it takes 3 half-frame
images. It's doesn't have auto-exposure but it does have three
aperture settings and one shutter speed.The glass lenses are
fixed focus. It also has a built in flash. The lens separation
is 19mm or 38mm for the two outside lenses.

I have thought of trying slide film but haven't yet. With the
right ASA slide film and lighting conditions it should be possible
to take reasonable slide pics.

Here are the technical specs.

TYPE: 35mm lens-shutter camera
FILM: 135 negative roll film (ISO 100, 200 and 400)
PICTURE SIZE: 3 images of 17.4mm X 24mm
LENS: 3 identical glass coated 30mm f4.5, 3 elements in 3 groups
FOCUSING: Fixed focus, shooting range: 1.2M (4ft) to infinity
SHUTTER: 1/100 sec. (fixed)
APERTURE: Manual setting f4.5, f8, f16
VIEWFINDER: Reverse Galilean
FILM ADVANCE: Thumb wheel in camera back
FILM REWIND: Manual rewind crank
EXPOSURE COUNTER: Additive
BUILT-IN FLASH RANGE: 1.2M(4ft) - 3M(10ft) with ISO 100.
POWER SOURCE: 2 AA batteries (for flash)
DIMENSIONS: 143(W) x 68(H) x 47(D)mm (5.6" x 2.7" 1.9")
WEIGHT: 190g (6.7 oz) without batteries 

Strangley enough the more expensive 3D-1000 has auto-advance and
is capable of being used underwater (with the right accessory) but
has a slower and plastic lens. 

P.S. Don't know if they still do but Rocky Mountain had
it on sale awhile back.
