Viewmaster Personal Stereo Camera
STEREO CAMERA

  This is the View-Master Personal Stereo Camera. The best camera to use if you want to make your own 3D ViewMaster reels. viewmaster camera  

The camera was made in the 50's, but you can still find them around and most of them still work

It uses normal 35mm slide film, but the images are small pairs. Since it uses the smaller images you can get 70 3D pictures from a 36 exposure roll. The film travels out of the can for the top roll up pictures, and then back in for the bottom.

The film can be developed at any decent photo lab, you just have to tell them to not cut and mount the film. What you get back is a long strip of developed film. You can then cut out the chips with the film cutter and insert them into blank reels.
