Hi again all. I have noticed a new problem with my camera. Looking at the opened rear of the camera, I saw a little spring hanging loose inside of the left...
Hello again, I guess everyone is already on the road for the holiday weekend!! I looked for a solution and found it. The toothed sprocket has a very small set...
Michael, Glad to hear you were able to fix your camera. Have fun with all the great holiday pictures you'll be taking this weekend. Sandra Dearborn, MI ... ...
My Realist had some corrosion spots inside that I've cleaned as best I could. However, those spots retain a whitish look that spoils the "flat black" look that...
I have never had a problem due to the presence of the spots if they are the same as the ones which I am familiar. Can you see any image on negatives as a...

I haven't used this camera in years, so I don't know if any reflections in the final slide would be obvious or not. Maybe I'm being a little too picky, but I...
I have used flat black ³model airplane² paint to do the insides of a sputnik.... Testors is one of the major brands. Much easier for the sputnik, I think,...
Kodachrome users might also consider that some scanner (if you scan in your slides) will not work correctly with the scanner. It has something to do with the...
... I think the issue is not so much with the actual scanning of Kodachrome, which works OK, but with the ICE or "automatic scratch and dust remover" software....

I'm sure the white spots would have to be right in the light path to cause any problems, but it's good to paint them so that the corrosion doesn't get worse....
I like that letter, but I think that the Realist is one of the easiest stereo cameras to work on. Pray that you don't need to attempt a repair on a Realist 45,...

Hi all, the weekend was great. I took two rolls of film with no problems. Now....what do y'all do with the film? I have to send it off (it is Sensia 100)...
You can have the film processed for about $5/roll but when you learn what the (additional) cost for mounting, you might well decide to mount yourself right...
... Processing tends to be $5-8 per roll. Mounting services are available but expensive. Dr T and others also carry an easy to use (and reusable) cardboard ...
I have been creating red/blue anaglyphs for the past 3 months and I am not satisfied with the lack of color in the resulting image. Does anyone recommend a...
I know of a place in Colorado that does the processing and mounting: http://www.rockymountainfilm.com/stereo.htm But like others point out, it's pricey, at...

Hi, I've been combing through the many 3d links on various sites, but I've yet to find any site that features a gallery of realist images from the 40's-60's....

I was looking at a beat up Realist in a camera shop. It had a high price, and I was trying to talk the owner to come down on it. He then started to lecture...
You can buy a Stereo Realist from ebay for about $50 today. More if you want a camera that has been reconditioned and sold with warranty. ... I don't think...
Hi, I have about 60 old slides. depending on cost, I would like to make some of them into prints. How involved is this? can any camera/film developing shop...
