About
Here you see two cameras previously introduced, the Bessa T and the Bessa L. (Spot the family resemblance?) They have been attached to a Kenko dual camera bracket for stereo photography. The T, like the L, needs a separate viewfinder, and the one does for both cameras, which use the wonderful Color Skopar 35mm F/2.5 lens. The bulb-shaped thing in the middle is the handle I use to hold up the dual bracket. What you can't see is the dual cable release that I use to ensure that both cameras' shutters click at the same time. If not, the stereo effect is spoiled, of course, unless there is nothing moving in the scene. The Bessa L on the left has a simple bubble level device in its accessory shoe. You HAVE to keep stereo photos strictly level or they can produce vertigo and/or severe eyestrain when you view them!
Dear Ciprian, I have been delighted with the results. But as they are pairs of slides, it is quite a bit of work to prepare stereo pairs for Usefilm. I will put up a couple when I can get around to it. Thank you for your interest.
Hi, Ray. I carted this rig all around a large hillside park today. It had hundreds of plum trees and they were all in full bloom... every colour from white to quite dark red! All captured in gorgeous technicolour and 3D. I'll post a few side-by-side stereo shots when the slides come back. Can you do the cross-eyed thing and see stereo shots properly, Ray? (If you haven't tried that, look at my "Stereo" folder and read the abouts and comments, where I've tried to help people get the full stereo effect.)
Thank you, Rob. Yes, well, to be exact, the one on the RHS has a rangefinder; the one on the left doesn't even have that! Are you interested in stereo photography? I am trying to find fellow enthusiasts, but they are rarer than hen's teeth here at Usefilm.
Roger, This is a quite interesting photograph. These look like rangefinder cameras and to photographed with a phone camera. Technology, you just gotta love it!
Yes, Jim, over quite a wide range. In fact it is not quite possible to get the two lenses as close together as human eyes, so I try to avoid including foreground that is too close (i.e., within 5 or 6 ft). Otherwise the parallax becomes too much for the eyes to interpret as distance information, and eyestrain results.
