Graphic Stereo Camera<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. In the mid 1950s stereo was popular again. Graphic, to find a niche, set its marketeers loose. The high end camera spot was taken by the pricy Realist so the marketing folk at Graphic aimed at the low end with a twist. While the camera was basically a dual lens box camera with fixed focus and a simple time and instantaneous setting shutter, the camera was touted as \u00a0having Depthmaster auto-focus<\/em> \u00a0and easy use with only one dial to set. It was advertised as an easy to use quality camera for a low price of $66.50 – $13 more to add a case and flash gun!<\/p>\n

The fixed focus lenses were f\/4 wide open and could be set for the outdoor daylight – \u00a0cloudy, hazy, bright, brilliant, and special (f\/16). The aperture plus shutter instantaneous setting of about 1\/50 were intended for the colour film of the day. The camera was advertised in LIFE magazine (issue Nov 7, 1956 p.124<\/a>) and Popular Photography (Nov 1956 p.11<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Lots of stereo cameras to choose in the 1950s. 3 or 4 decades later a PHSC member loaned me a Kodak Brownie stereo camera to try out (I also had a Stereoly attachment for a screw-mount Leica at the time).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
