I don't know exactly if any other camera had ever set this way, but Meopta
people should have had solid theories (both stereomikroma I & II shared
focus disparity).
I believe (just to hazard hypotheses) the overall impression of
depth-of-field would increase (with binocular fusion). May be I'll try some
experiments with only one "scenic" (infinity add-on) on my Nimslo.
Did ever anybody in the list try such a trick when using twinned cameras?
