I forgot about this lovely camera

Or you could just buy a Sputnik 120 stereo camera...

+1. probably the best 120 stereo camera made

I guess you could do like early motion picture stereo systems and shoot through a cube-type, beam splitter that allows one of the cameras to be rotated 45 degrees and placed to the left or right-forward position of the "main" camera...

Too complex, I'm afraid.

Not a fan of Bakelite. We never get along. It is a nice camera, in many ways.

I did the same thing with a pair of Zeiss-Ikon Ikoflices mounted on an aluminum plate.
Worked great. Did a lot of pix of family and some of the last ones of my mom.
The wider spacing between the two coated Zeiss Tessar taking lenses isn't a problem to me.

I am considering buying two Yashica Mat cameras for a stereo project. Prices seem quite reasonable and well suited for my current needs. Twinned 500C/Ms are out for now.

Anyone here use one? Anyone experienced with their performance/problems/issues? I tested one when Kodak released 120 Kodachrome and i forgot just how nice they are. Here is a link to a sample image"

Nothing but good things to say about my Yashica Mat. I picked it up for a song years ago and it has never let me down. Nice and compact, with a sharp lens and bright viewfinder. Love that it advances the film when cocking the shutter, something that my Mamiya C220 doesn't do. The size and format of the Yashica sees it often with my in my pack during long hikes.

My only knock on it is that I wish it that the shutter button was threaded for a cable release.

There is an exterior thread around the outside of the shutter button for a Nikon F/Leica style cable release. One may have to remove a trim ring to uncover the thread.

In case you didn't know it, thee is a ring around the base of the shutter release that unscrews. Then you can attach a Nikon F style cable release-

DAG sells the threaded end piece you can screw your own cable release into.
A must have.

I do not think so either. Probably my last concern.
