By the way, in the above icon, I show a 1930s Stereoly on a IIIa Leica.\u00a0Stereo photography has waxed and waned in popularity over the decades. In the 1930s, Leitz offered a means to take stereo photographs with its marvellous little miniature camera. The Leica had taken off in popularity in the 1930s and encouraged many other little cameras.<\/p>\n

The Stereoly uses prisms rather than the cheaper and more common front silvered mirrors. The prism housing was sold with different arms that connected the housing to the camera using the accessory shoe. The arm also supported a special attached viewer. The Stereoly was used with the 5cm Elmar or Summar lens (and the older 5cm Hektor).<\/p>\n

In later years, Leitz made devices using two 33mm lenses with a removable prism housing to enhance the stereo effect at longer distances.<\/p>\n

All Leitz stereo devices had in common the use of a single 35mm film frame for both the left and right images. The pair of images is separated by a dark blurry line. You can see at left a modern digital image created with the Stereoly.<\/p>\n
