It works. The film is split into two images to form the stereo pair, you
must shoot in a vertical format, use a 50 or 55mm lens set to f/5.6 or

perfectly level, all for best results (strongest stereo effect).
I have used it.
The angle of view indicates the area that will be included within the film
frame when the lens is focused to infinity. The standard practice is to
give the angle of view based on the diagonal of the film format. Since most
