    Description

    We offer for your consideration this vintage 1950s era stereo image camera.
    Designed by Seton Rochwite and made by the David White Company, the Stereo Realist is the best selling Stereo Camera of all time. It is a stereo camera with rangefinder focusing and takes photos in the 5p stereo format (also known as Realist format). The Stereo Realist camera was a camera that attracted celebrities throughout the 50s. The most notable user of the camera was silent film star, Harold Lloyd, who used the camera to do portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page, among others.
    This is the standard
    ST-41 Model 1041 f3.5 with Olex lenses, Serial number 017361
    This is a hefty, well built camera. The camera measures approximately 6 3/4 inches wide, 2 5/8th inches tall, and 2 3/8ths front to back.
    This camera will come with the Original User Manual (Not pictured)
    This camera could also benefit from a good professional cleaning. Fortunately there are no signs of mold.
    There are stereo image processing businesses available online, so we assume the 5P Realist film format is still available.
    If you are a photographer/ artist who collects and uses vintage cameras and film formats this Realist will be a very unusual additional tool.
