3D World's three-eyed camera: a film monster

3_lens_camera.jpg

From the depths of China comes a monster camera: 3D World's TL120-1. This tri-lens camera shoots medium-format film with stereoscopic imaging in mind. The two lower lenses take in information simultaneously resulting in two near-identical images. When these images are viewed together (with a device called a stereoscope) they create the illusion of a fully 3D image. This photography technique was first achieved in 1832, but it never really took the world by storm, probably because you need special equipment to see the 3D effect.

Although prices and availability have been difficult to come by, I'd like to observe that 3D World is quite the one-stop shop. Looking to purchase a pair of 3-D glasses and a coin-operated picture viewer? If you've been searching for contemporary versions of optical leisure from yesteryear, you've come to the right place, buster.
