Stereo Vivid is a rangefinder for stereo image pairs 24x23 mm on 35 mm film. It was made by the Three Dimension Company, a subsidiary of Bell and Howell in Chicago, around 1954-1960; [1] therefore, for a while was offered alongside the other two stereo cameras TDC, the display Stereo Colorist and the display coupled Stereo radio Colorist II; He was probably intended to occupy the position he held later Stereo Colorist II, a superior alternative to the Stereo Colorist. Has Steinheil Cassar (in the first chambers, according Welt der Stereoskopie [2]) or antiglare lenses Tridar 35 mm f / 3.5 mm coated, and a shutter speeds 1/10 - 1/100 second, more `B ', and synchronized to the bulb and the electronic flash. I have a coupled rangefinder combined with the visor in one eye. The focus knob is located on the right end of the upper casing in front of the knob film advance; camera will focus about 0.8 m. [2] At the top of the upper casing there is an exposure calculator; Sure Expo, similar to the one installed in the View-Master Personal stereo camera. Tuner calculator rotates as exposure controls, until the marks on weather conditions and lightness / darkness of the object are aligned fit. The calculator also shows the EV values. I there is a frame counter next to the calculator, marked up to 30 frames.
