Horseman & Rolleiflex Roll Out 3D Stereo Camera

Hot off the press release presses is the announcement of a joint venture between Horseman and Rolleiflex to create a highly advanced 3D stereo camera. While it's not a digital camera (it's 35mm) it does actually look like one, and it is good to see the older technology also still being improved. Simply called the "Horseman 3D", the camera takes technology up a level by being able to take stereo picturs of high-speed moving objects, like a splash of water or ambient wildlife in the background, which have traditionally been tough to capture on standard stereo cameras.

What makes this possible is a 24 x 65mm long blade, one piece metal focal plane shutter. There's also such features as automatic film rewinding and a super precise rangefinder.


It's not often these days that 35mm cameras make headlines, but the Horseman 3D is certainly a looker. Full details are at Lets Go Digital
