View-Master View-Master Stereo Color Camera Analogue camera

Offered is a rare and fascinating piece of photographic history: the View-Master Personal Stereo Camera Mark II. This specialized camera was designed to allow hobbyists to create their own custom View-Master reels. Unlike the original Mark I, which used a diagonal film path, the Mark II (manufactured by Sawyer's in Europe) features a more streamlined design while maintaining the ability to produce 3D pairs on standard 35mm film. The camera is equipped with a matched pair of high-quality Rodenstock Trinar 20mm f/2.8 lenses. Its unique built-in exposure calculator, featuring a colorful grid on the front, makes it a true standout in any collection of stereoscopic or mid-century design equipment. Specifications Camera Type: Stereoscopic (3D) Viewfinder Camera Lenses: Matched pair of Rodenstock Trinar 20mm f/2.8 Shutter: Behind-the-lens shutter with multiple speeds and Bulb (B) mode Aperture: f/2.8 to f/22 Features: Built-in exposure calculator (color-coded) and flash synchronization Film Type: Standard 35mm film (yielding 75 stereo pairs per 36-exposure roll) Country of Origin: Germany (Sawyer's / Rodenstock) Condition Cosmetic: The camera is in excellent aesthetic condition. The silver finish and black leatherette are well-preserved with very few signs of wear. Mechanical: The shutter fires, and the film advance mechanism appears to be in working order. The exposure calculator dial rotates as intended. Optical: Both Rodenstock lenses appear clear and bright, without visible scratches or internal fungus. Accessories: Comes with its original brown hard-shell carrying case, which is also in good condition. Please note: This is a specialized stereo camera intended for use with the View-Master reel system. It has not been tested with film. The images are an integral part of the description.
