P3D Re: Twin Camera Stereo

Hi Fred,

What do you want to know?... Things are simple.... You need: 1)
matching lenses, 2) a way to support the cameras, 3) some idea
on how much to separate them, 4) some way to link their
operations.

1. Take your chances with any pair of identical lenses.
2. Twin camera mounting bars can cost you $20 (Dalia has some
   cheap ones) or you can built something yourself.
3. Does the "1/30 rule" ring a bell? :-)
4. Adjust apertures and focus manually.  (set one, dial other)
   Use the "two finger" method to press the shutter or try 
   joining two mechanical cable releases or obtain a specialized
   twin camera cable.

If you have more questions, step by my house and I will explain
you the rest... :-) (Fred lives close-by)

BTW, I have both SRT201 and 202 cameras.  The 202 is the first
SLR camera I ever used.

George
