P3D Argus C-3 Stereo

["H a r o l d B a i z e" <baize@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Photo-3d-ers,

I don't know if my previous posting about my 
Argus C-3 Stereo camera made it to anyone because 
calcite.rocky.edu was down and I didn't receive 
digest number 2757. 

I "hacked" together a stereo camera from some 
old Argus C-3 Bricks. Thanks to Michael Watters 
for encouragement and advice :-).


The camera has a 68mm lens separation and shoots 
full frame pairs. I like the fact that the viewfinders 
are just right for viewing in stereo. It is a helpful 
feature for stereo photography to be able to 
view the scene in depth through the viewfinder.
 
The advance is 1-3-1 as in European format 
cameras, but it is entirely up to the user 
since there is no mechanical gearing to 
automatically advance in that pattern. 

I just got the first roll back and unfortunately 
I won't be able to show off the results-- the 
camera has a serious light leak. Other than the 
leak it appears to work well. 

I'll bring the camera to tomorrows Oakland Camera Club 
for anyone that wants to look at it. Check out our 
OCC web page for directions to the meeting:
