Is there anything particuarly odd about the bulbs?
Projector bulbs in
general are not that hard to find.
I'm just concerned about their continued availability.
Of course if
you can afford it you can get custom made camera's made
out of twin modern 35mm camera's. They take the two camera bodies
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.
There is a really impressive difference between projected Viewmaster,
Realist and standard 35mm 3D images!
There have been several adapters made to take 2 normal
camera boddies.
CZJ made one that takes 2 Werra cameras (that's one Werra accessory I've
not found yet).
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.
And of course there were those sliding devices where
you
take 2 pictures with a single camera, moving it between exposures. Only
works for static subjects.
I've actually been looking for a slide bar to try on some experiments
with a digital camera. They seem to be something of a rare item
these days. I've not looked to hard though as the tests I did by
shifting my weight from one leg to the other were less than
satisfactory (this actually works quite well with film cameras).
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.
The Russians made a thing called a Sputnik. A _triple_
lens reflex
camera. 2 taking lenses coupled to a viewing lens. Took 6 sterao pairs on
a 120 roll film. I've never seen one at a sensible price, though.
I've heard of it, but not seen one.
BTW, for an interesting page on the different cameras that have been made.
