It is worth noting that if this is the same device they used to produce for
70 pounds UK it is not a beamsplitter (FrameSpitter) in the sense of the
word usualy used on this list . It did not produce two half frame pairs but
full frame overlapped images seperated only by being passed through
respective red and green filters to produce an anaglyph image on colour
film . More like a NU Vu in this respect but without LCD shuttering to
block of alternate imgages and an equivalent viewing system, which gives
full colour . The Spondon with red and green filters will not give colour
and even with red and cyan which could theoreticaly combine to give full
colour the effect is usualy not that good.
