Re: homemade pinhole stereo advice

Thom,

I adapted my design for a 35mm camera "The Populist" (see my web page
http://idea.uwosh.edu/nick/pinholephoto.htm ) into a stereo camera
with two side by side 24x36mm frames. It is fit with two .15mm
pinholes 24mm from the film. You can see some of the results on my
Flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/73648543@N00/ or go to
www.http://www.f295.org/Pinholeforum/forum/Blah.pl and search the
"Color pinhole photograph" and "Camera Making & Modifying Workshop"
forums for the term "Stereo Populist"

I've also done it with side by side 4x5 cameras of 125mm length, a
6x6cm stereo camera of 60mm length, and I even did a pair of 3"
diameter La Choy noodle cans with curved 4 x 5 paper and got a stereo
effect.

BTW, my inspiration for making the stereo populist was a discussion
on yahoo about this gokken camera.
