Stereo Realist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stereo Realist was a stereo camera that was manufactured by the David White Company from 1947 to 1972. It was the most popular stereo camera ever manufactured.[citation needed]
It was originally designed in 1943 by Seton Rochwite.
The Realist uses standard 35mm film. The unusual proportions of the slides became the standard for 3-D slides, and is known as "Realist Format".
The routine for taking a photograph with a Stereo Realist is unusually elaborate. One must lift the lens cover, focus, cock the shutter, and manually set the aperture and shutter speed.
