$249.00

For sale is 35mm film stereo camera Realist 2.8 (model 1042) with a genuine tan calf leather and a shoulder strap. It is in pristine cosmetic condition and is working perfectly. I cannot find any faults in it. It was made in 1954 by David White company in Milwaukee (Wisconsin). It was designed by a designer Seton Rochwite in 1943 and it took him several years to implement his idea. Serial number is 007604. I am listing this camera for a higher than average price because of its condition like a museum piece which is highly sought by collectors.
Owners manual of this is available in Internet for free or for a small donation. It is better to obtain it before starting to use it because its design has its own secrets. Technical data:
