At Zion National Park in Utah last summer I ran into a
German Tourist with a twinned Minox camera.  The funny thing
is he said that it was a production stereo camera in
Germany, that is, a company made it for him - it wasn't
homemade.  It was too bad because it was the only time for
the entire 2 week vacation I left my TDC Colorist II in the
car (at my wife's insistence).  That trip I also a lot of
people with large and medium format cameras, none of them
stereo.
