The FED Stereo camera comes to us from Kharkov, Ukraine. It is designed to take 21 stereoscopic couples with the exposure size of 24x30mm on a standard roll of 36 exposure 35mm film. Two identical Industar-81 38mm f/2.8 lenses in the camera produce two discriminated flat images which form a stereoscopic couple. This couple can be projected on a screen producing a three-dimensional image. (See chart) for specs etc. The FED Stereo provides programmed autoexposure when set to the 'A' setting---the system varies both the shutter speed and aperture according to the light level. The range covered is from 1/30 sec at f/2.8 to 1/650 sec at f/14. When there is insufficient light the shutter button simply locks. Other features include a top-mounted GOST/ISO film-speed dial with settings from 16 to 800; a nicely-contoured wind lever, single-contact hot shoe, and threaded shutter release. The FED Stereo is powered by one SR-44 (1.3v).

From the Lomo factory in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) the medium format entry in the field of stereo cameras is none other than the Sputnik. While the name may conjure up spacey images, the Sputnik is in fact an old-fashioned Bakelite-bodied 3D camera, making 6x6 stereo pairs on 120 roll film. Features include twin 75mm f/4.5 lenses which stop down to f/22 and have geared, external focus to 1.3 meters, internally- coupled manually-cocked leaf shutters with speeds of 1/10-1/100sec plus B, and a brilliant waist-level reflex finder with a central ground glass focusing spot. The two-piece back swings open fron from both sides.

Sometimes called a beam splitter, this attachment screws onto the front of most 35mm SLRs. A stereo viewer is also included to enable stereo slide viewing. Bring back stereo photography today!

What? A stereo projector? Well, what you see here is what you get. It's made by FED and it's designed as a companion to project images made by the FED stereo camera pictured above. Since the only literature we've seen on it is in Russian, there's not much more we can say about this unique item!!
