Description from the seller
Stereoscopic camera ISO Duplex 120, produced in Italy around 1956 by ISO – Industria Scientifica Ottica of Milan.
The Duplex 120 was made as a more economical version of the Duplex Super 120, retaining the original system for obtaining three-dimensional stereoscopic photographs on 120-format roll film. According to historical estimates available, around 5,000–5,500 units were produced, making this model today relatively uncommon and of interest to collectors of Italian photographic equipment.
CHARACTERISTICS
– Manufacturer: ISO – Industria Scientifica Ottica
– Model: Duplex 120
– Country of production: Italy
– Period: circa 1956
– Production estimate: around 5,000–5,500 units
– Type: analog stereoscopic camera
– Film: 120-format roll
– Capacity: 24 pairs of stereoscopic images per roll
– Image format: approximately 24 × 24 mm
– Lenses: two ISO Iperang 25 mm f/6.3 coupled and fixed focus
– Apertures: f/6.3, f/8, f/11 and f/16
– Shutter speeds: 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 of a second, plus bulb

DIMENSIONS AND MATERIALS
Camera dimensions: approximately 12.3 × 8.3 × 4 cm.
Weight of the camera body alone: approximately 0.38 kg.
Metal body with black synthetic coating; front panel silver color. Main case and light meter case in brown.
INCLUDED ACCESSORIES
– original dedicated case for the ISO Duplex 120;
– original strap;
– vintage external light meter with its own case.
CONDITIONS
The camera presents overall good aesthetic condition considering its age. The black coating is present and shows normal signs of use. The metal parts show light abrasions, superficial scratches and small signs of oxidation.
The two Iperang lenses are present and apparently intact. Since no professional technical check has been carried out, the absence of dust, haze, or other internal defects cannot be guaranteed.
The camera has not been tested with film. The accuracy of the shutter, film transport, and operation of the light meter have not been verified. The instrument is therefore offered as a collectible photographic object, with no guarantee of full functionality.
The original case shows abrasions, internal stains, oxidation along some metal profiles and normal signs of time. The strap is present but shows wear and hardening. Also the light meter case shows signs of use.
The photographs constitute an integral part of the description and show in detail the conservation state of the entire lot.
