After some time of messing around i've now found a quick and simple way to make close up anaglyphs. Plan is to make a classic camera series. So put on your red and green glasses and enjoy ! My first attempt is the hasselblad 500C/M with non metered prism, 50mm Zeiss distagon and A12 back. (others will follow) Something completely diffrent, but also fun to do are the demon sculls my wife collects (she has seen to much "Buffy the vampire slayer" as a kid)

Nice job. I look forward to the next ones.
Took me a minute to find them, but I knew I had glasses . . . Somewhere. Red and blue, not red and green, but they seem to do the job.
The whole 3D thing, which got such a push here in Hollywood several years ago, comes and goes without acheiving any long term success. We happened to be getting a new (and long overdue) "home theatre" system at the time, so we got a 3D capable system, along with a couple DVDs to try it out. We had great expectations. But, really, although it works well, the 3D effect adds little to the movie viewing experience. It's still more of a gimmic or a marketing ploy than anything worthwhile, and the 3D fad has quietly faded away. Maybe it will succeed some day with a full "virtual reality" setup.

Beautiful! Can you share your workflow how to create these images? Hans

I'm in luck to live near by the largest cinema theather in Belgium, last year they've installed the 120Fps 3D laser projector. I have to admit seeing projections on a gigantic screen with this technique is the best i've ever seen. The problem is even if it's 3D evrything still happens on the screen there's no "holographic, immersive" experience, for that i guess you still need VR goggles. On the glasses, i should have said red and cyan.

Beautiful! Can you share your workflow how to create these images? Hans Thanks Hans! i'm glad i've finally figured it out. I use a Nikon D3 with an old 55mm micro nikkor. The nikkor is very sharp and has no distortion at close focussing distances. The camera is placed on a Vanguard SBC 300 tripod ball head with quick release plate. This plate allows for sliding the camera from left to right in a secure way. I then use a small aperture in combination with hyperfocal focussing to assure the complete camera is in focus.If i would use the 300 rule my stereo recording base would be around 2 Millimeters, instead i use a 2cm seperation from left to right, wich can later be adjusted in photoshop( see point 5). After making a left and right shot ( do look out your camera is level!) i then process the images in photoshop. 1) open both images in PS, be sure to know wich is the left and right one. 2) select the left image copy and paste it over the right image. 3) in the layers panel double click on the left image,the layer style box will now open. 4) in the advaced blending box, uncheck the G(reen) and B(lue) channel, you'll now see the image has got the typical red and cyan casts. 5) select the move tool and slide the left image untill left and right images overlap, at this point put on your red and cyan glasses to see if everything comes togheter and a good 3D image is formed without (to much) ghosting. 6) save in whatever format you like... Hope this explanation isn't to confusing, let me know if something dosn't work out. I'm sure other 3D programs such as anamaker will do the same job, most inportant is your source material.

Maybe a bit less glamourous then the previous, but still classic, the nikkormat series Nikkormat FT with nikkor 50mm f2 Nikkormat EL/W with winder and nikkor 28mm f3,5 Finally in 1977 the nikkormat became a nikon: the nikon EL2 with nikkor 50mm f2 it had a very short production run 1977-1978

The F3 came onto the market a few months before I quit the camera store and entered "The Industry," as we call it, assuming that everyone in the world knows we mean the Hollywood entertainment industry. Naturally, just becoming available, the F3s were in short supply and our large but local store only got two of them, hand delivered by the Nikon rep a few days before the official availability date. They went into the vault, not to be touched (or stolen !) ahead of time.
Both of those cameras, and several more, are already reserved by regular professional customers weeks before they arrived. But we had a parade of strangers coming through the doors desperate to buy one the moment they were available. One man even offered to pay 10 or 20 percent (can't remember exactly) above list price if we would sell one to him "now," a couple days early. I'm reminded of this every time a new iPhone hits the market and people are camped out in front of the Apple store as if their lives depend on getting the new model immediately. And there was the guy who got the first iPhone sold in a New York Apple store, opened it on camera (local TV news) and dropped it on the ground. Oops.

Francois, can you show us the Vanguard SBC 300? On the net I only find references to the SBH 300 tripod head. One of the reasons I quit 3D years ago, was the inherent instability of the camera(-s, I had 2 Lubitels then...) and the corresponding incorrectness of the base level. Hans

Hans Hans, i was wrong, it is indeed the SBH 300 head i am using. I use to use the "pentacon einstellschlitten" but it was very unstable with heavy cameras. I'm gonna try the following set-up this is adjustable on two axis it will make things more controlable as even the SBH is very stable, it still is a bit trial and error.

After the nikkormats came the FM it was nikons awnser to the compact slr trend that was set by the olympus OM series. Here's (from front to back) a chrome FM2 with nikkor 50mm f1:1.8, a black FE with MD12 and nikkor 28mm 2.8 and a chrome FM with MD12 and nikkor 28 3.5 They're not everybodys cup of tea but are slowly becoming "classics" as well.
