"Standard" half-frame is an "odd format"?
In college, some of the guys built a dome with an aluminized mylar
interior surface. It worked OK for polarized 3D projection, although
MOST of the viewers of the 1/2 hour 3D video fisheye stuff got headaches.

Why on earth
would you want to use modern cameras???
Quality lenses and better shutter speeds!
I'm normally limited to a max of 100 speed film, though I did shoot 1600 speed
once in a cave
in Majorca. I think the max shutter speed is something like 1/200th
of a second.
My 1938 Leica G (aka IIIA) goes to 1/1000th.
The Prontor shutter in the 6" Tessar on my 4x5 Linhof goes to 1/500th.
I can get the lens cap on and off of the lens of my >100 year old 8x10
view camera in about 1/2 a second, but at f64, that's PLENTY fast.
There is a really impressive difference between
projected Viewmaster,
Realist and standard 35mm 3D images!
Why is that?
Is this one of the rigs for holding two standard
cameras at the same
time? I think I've seen something like this that puts them base to
base. I don't think I've ever heard anything about how well they
work though. I'd be concerned about shutter timings unless shooting
still subjects.
With a dual cable release, such as the one for the Visoflex,
it's good enough even for most candid shots of people.
Admittedly, it is not suitable for "sports" shots.
Or the prism
attachements that fit on the
front of the lens and take the 2 images on a single 35mm frame.
I've seen these
advertised, they result in what I'd call an odd format.
