Ferwerda discusses just such a macro stereo camera in his book. I don't
have it here at work, but if memory serves, this was one of Pat
Whitehouse's projects. I also have an old issue of the PSA Journal that
discusses a similar conversion on a 120 roll film camera, so it certainly
is possible. In fact, judging by Whitehouse's spectacular macros, it's a
pretty good idea.
