Pictured is a Sputnik Stereo Camera made sometime between 1964 and 1974 (this version anyways)

It takes 120 film and I can’t wait to use it.

Edit: It’s not my first 120 camera, in fact it’s my third. My second with a twin lens design.

    Nice! How do you use the stereo Images? Do you have a viewer or do you do something digital?

      I’m planning to do 2 things really

      For physical viewing IRL I’ll be using a 3D printed viewer

      For sharing with others online I’ll be aligning the images digitally and making them a gif

      You could use modern optical filters (like in 3D cinema) in front of a film projector i think. Other option would be special glasses that show you the two separate images like a VR headset but with a slice of film and backlight.

      The other replies are technically correct, but fancy methods or viewers aren’t necessary. You can also just put the images side by side (left image on the right and vice versa) and cross your eyes until they line up.

      Yup it does

      The top lens is for focusing and framing and the bottom 2 lenses are for snapping pics

      Lord help you if you mess up alignment when taking it apart or puting it back together as it will really not be fun to fix (though I was able to fix it on my other TLR, it just sucked)
