INTRODUCTION

The Stereo Realist is a 3D rangefinder camera manufactured in USA by the David White Camera Co from 1947 to 1971.

This was the most popular 3D camera ever done, it's still available for cheap on eBay.


BEST SUITED FOR:


Fun!

PERSONAL NOTES

My experience with this camera is pretty small, as the film advance mechanism is stuck on mine.

As I can see, the rangefinder is pretty precise, but it's very easy to put your fingers in front of the rangefinder's openings. The viewfinder feels small.

The operation is pretty simple, advance the film, focus, compose, crank the shutter, shoot...

I would have like to see some results, but as I said, mine has its advance mechanism stuck.

CONCLUSION

This seems like a fun camera, but quite limited.

Versatility 1/5
Build Quality 2/5
