[photo-3d] Re: 3d FX - Yashica Samurai cameras

None is  "new product"
3d FX is a simple 3-lens 35 mm box camera with built-in flash. (think of a
Nimslo with 3 lenses instead of 4, and with fixed exposure). Maximal
separation (36mm) provides a poor stereo base.  I used one for lenticular
prints and I liked the results.

The 35mm Yashica Samurai was an interesting project. (Too intelligent to be
appreciated)
A 18x24mm  full-auto camera with a non traditional design and professional
features. Production stopped some years  ago, but I'm often tempted by some
on ebay ($60-100).
You can now  find NEW cameras branded "Yashica Samurai" sharing the same
design, but they no longer use 135 film (APS or digital)
