[photo-3d] Kiev 35A Twin

[Peter Redford <predf@xxxxxxxxx>]

I put two of them side-by-side but not synched. Even when twinned they're nice and compact, and
the electronic shutters are very smooth. They're plagued by light leaks, though, and I gave up on
them. I was thinking I might tear one apart, figure out a way to synch them, then use the
knowledge on their upscale Minox cousins. I probably won't get around to it, though. Anybody want
a pair of Kievs? I'll send them gratis, complete with their mysterious Russian manual.

PS: I heard a rumor that Minox once made a stereo camera based on the GT. If it's not true someone
should suggest it to them.
