[photo-3d] chronological list of stereo cameras

[Ralph Johnston/Linda Sherman <copley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My chronological list of stereo cameras is similar:

Stereo Realist 3.5
Franka beam splitter on a Nikormat
Sputnik & King Inn Viewer
Nishika
Twin Olympus XA-2 (4" base)
RBT X4-B
Kindar
Fed Stereo
Twin Nikormat's with an air release (12" base)
ISO Super Duplex
Discovery Channel (Loreo)
Rittai

I just bought the Rittai new in plastic wrap on e-Bay.  It is a motor drive
4-lens camera w/ flash and built-in level visible in the white frame
viewfinder.  It has no gap between shots as in the Nimslo/Nishika so your
local
1-hour lab should be able to make prints for cutting up and mounting for the
Loreo viewer.  Slides can be mounted in RBT 1/2 frame mounts selecting from
the
4,8, or 12 perf bases.  I haven't run a roll through it yet, so this is just
preliminary.

> - Vivitar Q-dos lens

> - Stereo Realist 2.8
