This winter’s project is to try to convert this vintage glass plate camera into a stereoscopic camera for next summer’s street portrait project.
Below is my “template” for what is needed to make my camera stereoscopic. Mostly, I need to add a septum/divider to to the bellows. And I need to find two lenses that identical enough to make two photographs at the same time. Easy, right? Oh! And I need to adapt the back to accept a 5×7 film holder instead of glass plates.
While I am working on piecing these things together I think I will learn to make single images with it. 🙂 Maybe even put the camera on a slider and make stereoscopic images that way.
