    Description

    Stereo Realist Camera David White Co With Case. An interesting camera, designed to take stereo pictures. It comes with a nice leather case. It does not have a fold-down lens cover - I don't know whether it has been lost or was never present.  Some cleaning needed.
    Aperture can be set by rotating either lens ring - they are geared together. Exposure is set using the central ring on the front. Shutter is cocked using the lever at the bottom and fired using the button on top.
    Focusing is controlled by turning the knob on the left (facing the front of the camera). There's a coupled rangefinder. At first I thought it wasn't working because the lenses do not move when you focus, but it turns out that unlike any other camera I have seen it is the frame in front of the film that moves when you focus.
    It looks to be in very good condition, but correct operation is not guaranteed.
    Used Camera Disclaimer.
    I am not equipped to test or repair cameras, and sell them on the basis that they may or may not work, at a price consistent with that. I will mention any defects that I am aware of, but my cameras are sold strictly as-is.
    I collect vintage cameras for their appearance and cool factor, not to use. Unless otherwise stated, the cameras I sell will look good, and the wind-on, shutter release and focusing work. Other than that they have not been tested or refurbished. Please be aware that with many older cameras the light seals deteriorate with time, requiring replacement. There are videos on You-Tube that show how to do this. Also, some older cameras require batteries and/or film that are unobtainable or hard to find. So if you are buying this camera to use, please be aware of this and do some research.
    If, like me, you collect cameras to look at and enjoy as vintage objects, you will not be disappointed in my items.
