S3D KinDar Ultra Close-Up Stereo Lens

[DaveThayer@xxxxxxx]

I've put my KinDar on ebay. 
This is a stereo lens made for the Exakta SLR. It was designed by Seton 
Rochwite, who designed the Stereo Realist camera. There were only about 100 
made. It features through the lens composing and focusing. It has a fixed 
focus of 9" but with the addition of the +3 supplementary lenses, focusing 
can be extended to 3". Minus supplementary lenses can be used to extend the 
focus beyond 9" but the filter threads on the lens are not standard and a 
custom filter adapter will have to be made. I know two KinDar users who have 
had this adapter made for their cameras.
The lens is similar to the Leica stereo attachments except that it's made 
specifically for close-up stereo photography. The lens splits a normal 8 
sproket image into two 4 sproket images. There is an integrated septum that 
extends to the film plane to keep the images from overlapping.
Use EMDE ultra close-up , Albion Nimslo mounts or RBTs to mount the film 
chips. 
Two KinDar +3 supplementary lenses are included, as is an Exakta VX2a camera.

I've posted a JPEG of the original KinDar flyer and a copy of a letter by 
Seton Rochwite regarding the specs and the differences between the KinDar and 
the Hyponar.

I'm keeping my Hyponar :)  Dave
