<p>Leica Stereoly Vorsatz Stereo Attachment question</p>

<p>So I'm panning on buying a Leica Stereoly Vorsatz Stereo Attachment for my leica iii. What lenses does it fit on? Every leica SM? Thanks :)</p>

<p>Google is your friend. Took all of 45 seconds to find this site, complete with a scanned set of period instructions. Just scroll down the screen and you'll see.</p>

<p>50mm lenses only.</p>

<p>Thanks, I was just too lazy..</p>

<p>Btw, is there another way to view the 3D images without using the Leitz VORTA stereo viewer? Since it's bloody expensive</p>

[Greg M]

<p>I've not delved too much into stereo photography beyond the brief ownership once of a Stereo Realist camera, but the various viewers should be inexpensive enough to try and see how well the effect is presented using slides produced with the Leitz attachment.</p>

<p>Is there a common/standard distance the slides are fitted and viewed between all devices? I just don't know enough to know.</p>

<p>It's interesting how the guy on that site wound up using the device on a digital camera to create digital stereo images.</p>

<p>I mean the leica vorta!</p>

<p>You could make two prints, mount them appropriately spaced for the usual stereoscope viewer.</p>

<p>I presume it makes two images on a 35mm full frame, so the size would be the same as half frame. Mount them in half frame slide mounts, and view them through two handheld slide viewers mounted together in some way.</p>

<p>Yea, or just use 3d glasses from cinemas? Haha</p>

<p>Anyways, what would the results look like?</p>

<p>You know that won't work: right?</p>

<p>The pic will look 3D when your eyes are aligned correctly with images, i.e there will be a superior perception of depth and of spatial relationships between objects. I am told it is a neat thing.</p>

[justin_ng1]

<p>Wow really? That's gonna be cool :) but the leica "3d viewer" is really expensive.. any cheaper ones?</p>

[justin_ng1]

<p>Any cheaper 3D viewers?</p>

[Greg M]

<p>I just searched the Leica viewers on eBay...wow, yep, $450-750.</p>

<p>Just grab one of the Stereo Realist viewers of eBay for under $100..</p>

[justin_ng1]

<p>Wow thanks Greg!</p>

[justin_ng1]

<p>Hmm, do I just slide the whole roll in there and slide it to the next picture?</p>

[Greg M]

<p>You use 3D viewers, one image at a time. The pairs are processed and mounted together.</p>
