It works. The film is split into two images to form the stereo pair, you must shoot in a vertical format, use a 50 or 55mm lens set to f/5.6 or f/8.0, have your subject between 4 and 12 feet, and have the camera perfectly level, all for best results (strongest stereo effect).
I have used it. Kodak processing machine got confused halfway through mounting the roll and I had to mount most of the frames myself. The effect is very cool, and lots of fun. It is fussy to do if you really want good results from this set-up. If you get serious about stereo photography you'll probably end up with a dedicated camera designed for this purpose or some contraption that allows for the use of two cameras or shooting with one camera on a sliding device. Of late, these sets have been a little pricy for what you get. It is pretty well made but you will not be happy to know that they often sell (complete set) for nearly $300. You can get them much cheaper if you are patient and shop around. It helps to have a second viewing device so you can share the experience with a friend... ppro > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gary J Sibio > Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 11:38 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Stereo Adaptor > > > > Has anyone ever used the stereo adaptor that Pentax used to market?
