Kodak Stereo Camera

The Kodak Stereo Camera was produced from 1954 until 1959 and was both influenced by and competitive with the Stereo Realist camera.  Like the Realist, the Kodak Stereo Camera featured a pair of lens that produced nearly-square, 23x24mm pairs of stereo images.  Because the images produced with this camera follow the same format used by the Stereo Realist cameras, many of the Realist accessories, such as slide mounts, can be used with the Kodak camera as well.  

The Kodak Stereo Camera is viewfinder only, there is no rangefinder for focusing.  The viewfinder window is on the same level as the taking lenses and features a bubble level to help insure level shots.  Shutters speeds are set manually between Bulb, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, and 1/200, and aperture is also set manually.  The camera also features a self-cocking shutter, that could be circumvented in order to create double exposures.  The frame counter counts down and typically produces about 28 pairs of stereo images on a roll of 36 exposure film.
