Yesterday (9-11-22) I was at a local auction. One of the things I founded was Graflex's Stereo Graphic Camera. After clearing it up founded that everything works on the camera. Inside the camera was a roll of Kodak's Ektachrome-X film. The camera just have a viewfinder, no rangefinder. Camera has a hot shoe. The two lenses are 35mmGraflar f/4 lenes. On the front of the camera between the two lenses is the setting for light: cloudy 4 // Hazy 5.6 // Bright 8 // Brilliant 11 // f16 for flashed. The camera was made sometime between 1955 to 1960. Show the camera to a friend of my, he said to use Kodak Exrachrome E100 film.
I have never worked a stereo camera before. So testing this camera well could be fun.

I have a similar camera but made by Kodak. It produces 1/2 frame 35mm exposures. that, after processing, were cut and placed in cardboard slide mounts. The left lens exposed slide in the left side of the mount and the right exposure in the right side. When those mounted slides were placed in a stereo viewer the scene looks 3D.

You'll need a stereo viewer. There's one on eBay for $19.95

I started from the opposite side and bought an OLD stereo hand viewer with a number of original B&W pictures on cards set for stereo viewing. That inspired me to buy a couple of stereo cameras at the camera trade shows of the 80's. I shot B&W guided by a hand light meter, developed my own film, made prints, mounted them like the original samples, and created my own sets of pictures. This worked very well for the stereo viewing, but I found that the image quality was barely good enough for 5x7" prints of an individual picture = one trick pony.
The challenge was to create pictures that enhanced the stereo effect.
Another set of film treasures now in storage.
