Re: [photo-3d] query about nimslo 3D as stereo pair camera

[Linda Nygren <lnygren@xxxxxxx>]

This does work quite well in my experience, particularly using two adjacent
lenses for closeups. I do prints mostly but have gotten some nice results
with slides also. Reel 3D has a very nice book about Nimslos for about $10
which details this and other applications, and I would highly recommend the
book. One can use ordinary reading glasses or photographic closeup "filters",
or two types of closeups for the Nimslo are commercially available; also a
"scenic" accessory lens for more distant focusing.

I don't my Nimslo camera much for scenics, mainly because of the narrow (4p)
film chips produced, although it is really a nice option where weight is a
major issue (e.g. backpacking) and one does not want to carry a Realist or a
twin rig etc. I would suppose that the somewhat narrow spacing of even the
outer lenses at about 55mm, as well as the fixed focus at around 10 feet
(OK, 3 meters) does make it more suitable for midrange subjects rather than
distant subjects. -Linda
