This looks like a cheap camera that was available in bargain shops a couple
of years ago. It uses a rotary shutter to take 4 images one after the other
on a single 35mm frame - each image being about one quarter the size of a
standard 35mm image. The cameras were selling for about $5 Australian (about
US$3). Besides being out of sync and of doubtful quality, the images would
be a bit small for any type of serious stereo work.
