Nishika n8000/Nimslo Mindblowing results

[NB23]

Don’t let the supposed difficulty of processing 3-D results from these cameras put you away.
I say “supposed” because it’s pretty easy actually.

The way I use my Nishika is to print the whole negative (all 4 frames) within the paper the same way I print a Xpan negative.

When looking at the print, slightly cross-eyed, the image detached itself from the print. Like it a was floating in the air. Just the orher day, I cought myself staring at my first test print for 5 minutes, in awe. And then I realized that it was the first time in a long time that I spent so much time looking at one image, any image, I’m not even sure I spent that miuch time looking at the original Mona Lisa. That alone tells you something.

anyhow, from now on this is my dedicated Kids and family camera. Looking at prints will make those frozen moments even more Special. It’s quite an experience.

Perhaps heresy in this section, but displaying these online does require a little manipulation -- IMO it works best as a "wigglegram" when there are more than two images in the set. Fairly easy to do in GIMP or Photoshop.

Print and a viewer or free-viewing are easiest offline, though.

I Love holding Prints. Poor my family, the Ton I’m leaving behind...

Do you have a stereopticon and stereo cards?

Nishika and Nimslo cameras make three or four images -- not really very amenable to two-image viewers. They were intended for lenticular prints that haven't been available in a long time.

My own preference is for a flat image I can free view (preferably cross-eye), but my ability to wide-eye is limited enough I need a stereopticon or equivalent for images bigger than about 2x2 that are set up for wide-eye.

People use 4P half frame cardboard mounts and 4p Realist close up masks for two image viewing. They also enlarge and mount+flip first and last negatives on stereo cards. If one uses their google-fu there are 3D lenticular printers who seem to still be printing. Stereoscopy website might also offer cornucopia of insights and answers to Nimslo Riddle .

All fascinating
Thanks for contributing

There are still some services that make lenticular prints, of course they aren't specifically Nimlso/Nishika providers so IDK how good the result would be -- but I have considered it. I do like my Nimslo

I bought an old stereo card holder and made some stereo cards from Nishika images (I already had the camera). It worked well. I've printed the four images side-by-side before, also - it makes an interesting print. Printing two images side-by-side is interesting, also. The camera takes fairly decent photos, if you're careful with it.
