Has anyone experimented with autostereoscopic photography?

This is what used to be returned as prints from Nimslo and similar multi-lens 35 mm cameras? I usually see those films scanned and converted to .gif wigglegrams, these days. AFAIK, the lenticular process has been obsolete (lens sheet out of production) for many years, and I see aligning the lens strips as a serious issue if one were to attempt this with home RA-4 prints (not to mention your magnification has to be just so to match the lenticular stripes).

Donald, your experience has been with the Nimslo? I have a Yashika which was the poor man's Nimslo. These are multi lens cameras with a small stereo base. In the next video I'll show an 8x10 single lens camera. Fun stuff!

No, never even handled a Nimslo, it's just the name I remember for the lenticular prints. My experience making stereo images was cha-cha method with a Pentax Spotmatic. I've got a Discovery Channel stereo camera (dual half-frame with built in mirror splitter) and a Stereo Graphic (Stereo Realist format, but fixed focus and shutter), plus a viewer for the latter and some mounts for each, but haven't gotten any finished from them, yet.

The commercial lenticular photography produced by Harvey Prever and Paul Hesse in the 1950's was in a league of it's own. High quality, immersive works of art viewed as transparencies with a light box. Nimslo and Nishika prints barely scratch the surface of what is possible with film!

Really interesting video, thanks for making it, look forward to the next one. I'm currently trying to get a WT-102 multi dimensional camera up and running so I'll keep you posted.

I once developed a roll from a disposable 3-lens camera that was processed as lenticular, it was fun but not mindblowing. I think the company was snap3d. Since then labs no longer develop film commercially like this, but I'm glad I managed to get one in before they stopped doping it!
On another thread here in photrio (about the WT-102 multi dimensional camera) someone posted this link in case anyone wants to try to get in touch with them and send them nimslo / nishika etc files:

Thanks benvine, I think you will enjoy the next series of videos on the Prism camera (coming soon!)

Good luck with the WT-102 camera, a friend gave me one but it is currently out of service! He attempted to modify it to get more depth. From the one example photo I have it appears that the camera is best suited for close-up or product photography.

I recently had a custom lenticular print made by a vendor on Etsy. It’s not a 3d image but they can make 3d images.
