Stereo Realist
The Stereo Realist, made by the David White Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is probably the most popular stereo camera ever made by a company you have never heard of. The Stereo Realist is one of the best 35mm stereo cameras for both the beginning and veteran stereo photographers. They are well built, easy to use, and easy to find. They tend to sell at very affordable prices and they produce images of solid quality. The Stereo Realist is often credited for kicking off the stereo generation of the 1950s, with companies such as Kodak quickly following with stereo cameras of their own.
The standard model of the Stereo Realist features two 35mm f/3.5 lenses paired at a distance just slightly greater than human eyes. This favors subjects of closer distances, between seven and twenty feet. A later model of the Realist, called the Realist 2.8, has improved lenses with a maximum aperture of f/2.8. The shutter control is manual on this camera.
