It has 4 lenses, I been wondering what it would take to print your own 3d, but don't have time to play with it, if your interested make me an offer, but if you figure a way I would like to hear about it. Anyway it is complete camera case book video flash and manual. IMG_3578.JPG

I got one of those quite some time ago when I was taking classes at my local community college for film photography and the lab manager there said representatives of the company that made those came in with a sales pitch for the camera, and he turned them down, but said that he got enough info from them to learn exactly how it worked. He explained it to me and then said a company in Canada still dabbles with it, but that there is little to zero demand for actual 3D photos taken with one of these any longer. Now it seems as if the gimmick going for them is taking photos, having them developed, and running them through photoshop for one of those "wiggle" gif images such as this one.

having said that ... making prints is easy -- the camera takes 4 half-frame images all in a row, so shoot the film as normal,get it processed, make prints from the extreme left and right (the outside) prints of each set of four.

Transpose ( put the left print on the right, right print on the left) mount and view through stereoviewer.

When these cameras, and the more expensive Nimslo that used the same 4-lens system, came out there was much talk of this, also modifications to use the two middle lenses for macro stereo using add-on close-up lenses, and so on.

You can also shoot slide film and mount the two outside chips in stereo mounts made for half-frame. I believe they are still made/sold.

The reason yu use the outside two negatives is to get enough stereo separation. You could use the middle two, but the result will look flatter except for close shots, which this camera won't do because it's fixed focus.

The Nimslo images were printed with slices of each of the 4 images in sequence under a plastic lenticular screen like 3D postcards that seem to move when you tilt the card.

Thanks. I remember seeing those postcards when I was a younger :smile:.
