'Vintage Accessories'

I remember using these rather Heath Robinsonish-looking objects as a child. 

My father was what would be described today as an 'early adopter', and this was certainly true of photography. 

He had a 16mm cine camera in the late 1920s (it's a bit of a museum piece—it's now actually with a museum) and was using early colour film from the mid 1930s. I still have the original films, now safely transferred to DVD!

For still photography, he also had a rather nice early pre-war Leica, which he used to shoot 35mm colour slides, and kept for the rest of his life. 

Not satisfied with the realism of colour, however, he added the realism of 3d. He did this by attaching twin lenses to the front of the camera (about the same distance apart as human eyes), which divided the picture into two separate (and slightly different) images

He took hundreds of photos this way, and today's blip shows the viewers we used to see them, not only in 'Glorious Technicolour' but also in 'Glorious 3D'!
