"The  king's inn"? a nice english pub!
forgive my pun, and please tell me if I can find somewhere in the web a pic
of that camera, or at least it was obtained from the bodies of 2 folding
cameras. I also wonder what "king inn" may mean in chinese.

I am not able to download the picture of the 5-lens Seagull, but I'd like
to point out that Seagull are old hands at twinning their fine 120  reflex
camera. They did this for King Inn of Taiwan in the '80s. To my knowledge,
only three King Inn cameras were imported into the US when the King Inn 2
1/4 stereo system was introduced, primarily to target the (wealthy) Chinese
wedding market in Taiwan. The cameras sold for about $1350, and were
written up in Stereo World September/October 1991, page 34. As the
importer, I ran a couple of rolls through one of the cameras. Picture
quality was excellent. Quentin Burke, Q-VU, Holtville, CA 92250.
