- In the 40's and 50's an interesting 35mm camera started popping up in the hands of some of Hollywood's biggest stars. The stereo-realist was an early 3D camera that had some big name endorsements and introduced people to easy 3D pictures!

Queen's guitarist Brian May is a big fan of stereocopic images and released some books with pictures and the glasses. One is about the Moonlanding!
He also formed a company keep up the tradition of these images :)
Red and blue glasses was used very rarely in the cinema in the fifties. It was linear pol glasses.
It was used for reruns in the 60s and seventies for cost and also more so on 80s and 90s movies parodying the fad.
It’s easier to see something kooky is going on with everyone having coloured glasses on.
You always manage to surprise me with things I didn’t even knew that existed
My grandfather loved his Stereo-Realist camera. He shot hundreds of rolls of film through it.
My brother-in-law's parents' wedding pictures were taken in this format. They're not in the best condition, but it's a bit trippy to view them. There are also pictures that were taken of family affairs and home life... including a bris... in 3D
I recently purchased a Wollensak Stereo 10 -- top of the line, made in Chicago. It's wonderful. I use a Holms style viewer and print the left and right negatives 3x3 inches and spray mount them to 4-ply matt board. It's quite easy and the results are excellent. The point being, you don't need to make slides-prints are fine. The London Stereographic Society has something called the Owl viewer for about $15. I have that and the old style that many people have in their attic.
I bought a realist about 10 years ago, I have it go but didn’t have any information to figure it out, I just pulled it out of storage and came across your video, the deep dove begins. :)
The Stereo Realist really is a hobbyist camera. It's difficult to load the film and fiddly to use and tricky to mount the slides, but the results looking through that red button viewer are superior to any more modern 3D effect I've seen. You've inspired me to take my viewer off the shelf and look through my slides again.
I have one of these cameras and my children are frozen in time in brilant color, 3_d slide film.
It's lunchtime here. I saw this video was up 2 minutes ago. As tradition, I ate mini wheats whenever I watch you.
A few days ago a received my first set of slides back from the developer, and I gotta say it is entirely worth the extra effort, such a cool thing
As a cheap way to get into 3D photography, you can get a Holga 3D camera. The cameras and viewers are easy to find. The slide mounts are a bit harder to find, but they’re out there.
Did some research and ended up dropping more money than I should have on eBay. I bought two versions of the camera and two lots of the mounting equipment to get everything that is needed. Last week I finally got my rolls back and mounted. It took a minute to figure out the process to put together the slides, but once I got going it was super easy. I planning on shooting a lot more with it though.
Don't dissect the quickload, shoot it! If you have a Polaroid 545 holder it will work in there too, you don't specifically need the fuji one.
I have been an avid Stereo Realist photographer since stumbling onto an old Realist Camera 30 years ago. I was actually investigating a burglary and found one in a culvert. It piqued my interest and resulted in my researching the history of the company. After purchasing my own, I have since taken hundreds of memorable photos that I've mounted myself. (Cutter and mounts available at Reel 3-D Enterprises in Culver City, CA.). Roughly 5 years ago I couldn't find anyone to develop my film. So I reluctantly sold the camera to an antique store for $30.00. I then purchased a Digital FujiFilm Finepix Real 3-D Camera. The Fuji came no where near the spectacular images I took with the 75 year old Realist analog technology. I recently heard film cameras were experiencing a come back. I located "The Darkroom" in San Clemente, CA. where I can have my slide film processed. This clears the way to purchasing a very nice Stereo Realist I found today on Ebay.
I do have one question; I will probably be using Kodak Ektachrome E100 35 mm slide film. I have heard Fuji Provia 100F is excellent as well. Looking for advice on what film to use from any fellow Realist enthusiasts. Thanks!
just picked up a realist 45, excited to start shooting it!
When he says "subscribe at 8:59 the subscribe button glows in different colors!! 👀
I picked one up not to long ago. It's one of the earlier f3.5 versions but what makes it cool is the serial number. I have A0107, the 107th stereo realist ever made. BTW if you want to make cool 3D images with this thing, scan and stitch them together into a single image, load to your phone and use Google cardboard to view them.
The grandfather to the Nimslo and Nishika.
Cool video! Well in the 1980s Vivitar of all manufacturers made the Vivitar Q-Dos 70-210mm Anaglyphic lens... it is an oddball lens, using an internal filter to make the red/blue colour and defocus dubbeling effect. But it sort of works...
The Stereo Realist camera was discontinued in 1971. However, since more than 130.000 were made and also built as a tank, several are still available today. Kodak did professional developing and mounting until the mid eighties so it means that the stereo movement slowed down perhaps only when digital photography was popularized. But Realists and Kodaks stereos and several others are still available including accessories so the film stereo analogue photos continue to be shot and enjoyed!!
Enjoyed your video. Just for the record, Harold Lloyd had a stereo 3D photography club that met at his Hollywood mansion on Sundays and would invite aspiring stars like Marylin Monroe and Jane Mansfield of pose around the pool for the star studded club members. Lucky guys. Sounds like something from the new "Hollywood" series on Showtime. Anyway the books you showed were put together by his daughter after his death and sadly he had nothing to do with their production. The story goes his entire huge slide collection was headed for the dumpster when at the last minute she took an interest and saved them for posterity. Smart girl.
You can also project them onto a silver screen using a stereo projector or two projectors in a dissolve rack with polarizers and 3d movie glasses. I bought a Rollei MSC 300P twin lens projector for this purpose, I still need to pick up a couple of polarizers for it though.
Making stereo slide mounts should be really easy with some tagboard, glue, and an xacto knife. Maybe someones posted a template for the exact size and cutouts. I had fun shooting stereo images with my K-mount Loreo "3D Lens in a Cap". I always swapped the left and right so that I could just cross my eyes a little and get the effect.
I wonder if someone could just make a printable template for the slide holders, use an xacto knife and cut them. I don't think that it would be all that difficult to do.
Ok, now I gotta get one of these cameras, convert the negative scans into 3DS image files, and view them on my 3DS XL. The future is here...
I do think that you can easily make cardboard mounts for the picture
By some reports the inventory of the Realist used two Kodak Bantam Specials taped together.
Yes, finally perfection.
Video @ 4:18 "the gimmick of 3D" - It's no gimmick ! - In fact, if I were allowed to take only one camera for a trip around the world - - - It would be a Stereo Realist.
The images are stunning because it's like you're there again... I LOVE my collection (Slides, viewers and cameras) ! - The f/2.8 Realist is very expensive & quite collectable.
I took mine to London and Paris in the 1980s. Haven't use the camera in a long time. I should really test it.
You forgot Dwight D Eisenhower in which I have seen him in uniform as his 3D camera was on him. History remember that in Which I two have 2 3D cameras from the Loreo Brand but alas on one process film as it was printed 2 shots on one print. I have to scanned the neg, and make 4x6 prints myself.

Honestly seems so cool
I have the 3D Hollywood book ,it is superb ,it was put together by his granddaughter Suzzanne . The other book that you mentioned 3D Nudes is’nt produced in the same way,the pictures are printed using a technique of having a normal photo and applying a red and green fringe on either side of the subject ,like using a q-dos lens or by a computer.It dose’nt say that any of the photos were taken by Harold Lloyd and I don’t think any of them were.
Actually they were using polarized lenses back in the 50s. Red and blue glasses were primarily used for comic books. And 3D is far more than a gimmick.
Cool! What about the Sawyer's stereo cameras -- which shot for the Viewmaster format? It used 35mm film also, was introduced in 1952 -- not sure when the home-consumer camera stopped being sold, but Viewmaster "reels" were still being produced into the 1980s.
Also coming up!
us folks here in hollywood love our cameras lol
Always fun to hear my name! :D
I love Whenever he mentions Kodachrome it comes with a warning. Also would love to se some of that 4x5 sllllllllliiiiiidddddeeee
Just wondering: what is your suggested film scanner for someone who would like to take their film negs/slides and convert them to Holmes/stereo card format? I'm getting a Realist for Christmas and I'm thrilled with the idea of trying to mount slides and love the ease of use of the Holmes system (easy to make and very durable).
The only film scanner that I personally use is an Epson V700. Usually if I want higher quality scans I well have them done by a photo lab!
Question: What is the focal length of the lenses used in the Stereo Realist camera? I've seen repeated mention of 35mm, which is a lens focal length, but also the film size used by the camera, so I'm just not sure. Thanks.
The focal length on the lenses is 35mm! I believe there are also some close-up adapters that attach to the front of the lenses that change them a bit.
Hi Noah! I´m watching this video because today i found a 50´s stereo camera, it´s none of the ones you mentioned but the Videon Stereo Camera from Stereocrafters Inc. I´ve been trying all day to find information about how to use it because, as dumb as it may sound, i just can´t open the film compartment lol. Anyway thanks to your video now i know what kind of camera is and what i can do with it, now i just have to figure out how to load some film.
Not sure exactly with that model, but here are some resources that might help you a bit!

My uncle had one of the 3D cameras, I don't remember the make but I do remember you had to make sure it was perfectly level. To make sure you did their was a bubble level on top. If you didn't the picture would be unbalanced and the image looked horrible!
Just found this vid a year later! Question, is there no person or company out there that will mount your slides for you. That is what has stopped me in the past. In the 80's I took plenty of slides with my stereo camera because you could still send them to Kodak. Yes, Kodak. Thanks for this video, I learned about Harold Lloyd for the first time.
As far as I know, no service mounts them. You have to buy the mounts and do it yourself. You might be able to find an individual who would do it for you, but I wouldn't count on it.
Shot my grandfather's Kodak Stereo in the mid-70's. At the time you could still drop the film off at the drug store and have it returned in the stereo mounts. My depth of vision is limited so never did much for me.
Could film taken from The Stereo-Realist camera be cut with a Sawyers View-Master film cutter, and then mounted into a View-Master reel?
No the frames of a stereo-realist are much larger then the frames taken with a view-master camera
You missed a whole variety of other 3D cameras.
Can’t wait to see how the kodamatic turns out!!!i found my moms instant Kodak in late 1989,, and we had a family ran general store in town that still had film , of coarse expired,,, the first pack actually worked but the second we found did not... it’s a shame,, the pictures from that camera were amazing they are matte finished and you get this amazing pink and yellow outlines as the pictures developed...I wish someone would make it again..... great video buddy as usual..
Interesting, do you own a new Nintendo 3ds??
Nice video. I got the 1st generation Panasonic plasma 3d 42 inch TV and 3d bluray player. Still got and working. 1st lot of the glasses, powered by a 2032 3v coin cell. Big, horrible glasses, paid dear for the next gen smaller. Guess still work if in built battery charges. Not used for years but the TV and bleray goes, 3d or not. Mostly not!. Had some free discs with the telly. Avatar was one, 3d.
Had a 3d camera in 2012 so 2 years on, see on a holiday in a shop window. Came home, googled and found best price a Fujifilm W3, 3d camera with that nintendo 3ds screen. Was 3d on its nice size screen. Only do landscape photos for it to work. All i like anyway as TV or monitor not 90 degrees out. Horrible portrate video anyone!, Cant stand it.
That camera lasted 5 years, sold it for a normal one. It did 3d and a Jpeg at same time. one lens for the jpeg. Plays on a 3d media player with hard disk bay and HDMI to that now over 12 years old Panasonic TV. Or do a jpeg of them. 3d came and went on the telly. A few programs.
Our London mens Wimbledon tennis final back in the day, 2012? was done as it on a different channel to normal telly as it want out 2d.
Nice old school camera, Some big names had. Harold Llloyd, Seen some of his stuff. Old days in cinema.
Here in UK we could go on a web site, upload photo and it come back as a print on that funny lenticular (hear you say on this and another video). Was deat £10 or so for a print, I did one. Not the best 3d photo, was a timer job of 3 of out in some woods, walk, Not very 3d, The photo was not. £10 wasted. Think a banging 3d photo. banging print, I stuffed up my choice. At mum and dads in the dining room. It looks like a print, disapointment. Got email saying company doing at ending, Daft idea, too dear, it not last. Expensive print machines I bet. An idea that never took off.
Celebs loved it = they got paid to promote it.
Harold Lloyd alone took over 200,000 slides. I suspect his endorsement was legit.
Just a note for beginners... I owned the “glorified” f2.8 Realist. Besides that one not only I own many other stereo cameras, but also made my own. This Realist is overrated by people who has no deep knowledge in stereo cameras, or never used others. It’s completely awkward to use and has very common issues. After shooting one film roll and having nothing but frustrations just even hold it, I sold it. Get a Realist-45 or even Graflex instead if you want a 3D camera.
The Nishika was a scam. It was a cheap imitation of the Nimslo. It was marketed in a pyramid scheme and it was poorly made. It even has a useless weight inside it just to make it feel like quality. I use to talk people out of becoming part of the pyramid scheme.
Whoops, you made the classic mistake of repeating the myth that 1950's 3D movies were red/blue anaglyphic. Augh!!! Such a blunder in an otherwise well informed video. Also, Harold Lloyd didn't put out those books of his photos, unfortunately those were published years after his death.
