If you are, as the owner of a new Stereo REALIST, one who is about to use a stereoscopic camera for the first time, a rare thrill is in store for you. Your Stereo REALIST pictures will be so natural, so real, that you will almost expect them to come to life.

On the other hand, if you are one of the many persons who have taken stereoscopic pictures in the past, it is probable that you have been limited to black and white film. Yours is now the new thrill of full color complemented by the third dimension - a technical achievement resulting in complete realism.

Stereoscopic (and let's not call it "stereopticon," which is something else) photography is not new. It is, in fact, as old as photography itself, and the principles of stereoscopy were known long before that. As early as the sixteenth century, diagrams were drawn incorporating the elements of binocular vision and three dimensional seeing.

In the Stereo REALIST, therefore, we claim nothing new in principle. You will, however, find your REALIST to be a precise, well designed, high quality camera correctly incorporating the long known principles of stereoscopy, and at the same time taking full advantage of the latest developments in materials, lenses, mechanical design and color film.

We are proud of the Stereo REALIST. It is not the result of casual or hurried designing. We are confident you will take pride in its ownership and experience much pleasure in using it.
