Unfortunately, the machine that produced the view-master reels broke in the 1990s and wasn’t fixed. Then change the front dial, and shutter moves up, reverses the advance and shoots across the top of the roll giving you another 69 pairs, while sending the film back into the cassette. When you shoot your roll through for the first time, it exposes the bottom part of the film, giving you about 69 pairs for a 36-exposure roll. But wait, how can you do that, are you wasting film? Surprisingly no, in fact, you’ll get more images per roll. The camera also has a spirit level, cable release, and the ability to slice up the negatives to mount into the view-master reels. While the camera doesn’t have a meter, it does feature a unique wheel to adjust the “ExpoSure” calculator – using geared wheels to adjust the aperture and shutter speed according to lighting conditions outside. The camera features a matched pair of 25mm fixed-focus View-Master Anastigmatic lenses with apertures from f/3.5 to f/16, with shutter speeds ranging from 1/10 to 1/100 of a second plus Bulb (B). But here’s the catch, to create those view-master images you do need to shoot a color slide (positive 35mm) film. We all know Mark D loves crazy cameras, but according to him the View-Master Personal Stereo Camera takes the cake! Produced from 1952-8 by the Sterocraft Engineering Company for Sawyer’s, this is an amazing art-deco style camera. Today’s topics are the Viewmaster 3D Camera, PinBox Camera, the Yashica ME-1, and so much more – so grab your warm beverage and stay tuned to the internet radio show for people obsessed with film! Hey, folks – coasting on caffeine and joining Michael Raso in the studio today are Leslie Lazenby, John Fedele, Mark Dalzell, and Mark O’Brien. ![]()
