Camera	Comments
Belplasca	“Allegedly the sharpest lenses of any stereo camera”
FED	“Reasonably well constructed. Weak areas: There is a small part inside the camera that can bend up and allow the shutter to stick open. If you are playing with the camera without film in it, it will jam when the film counter goes past 18. It is easily fixed, but you need to take the top off. You can only use the little plastic lens hoods in the bulb and flash modes - otherwise they block the light meter. The normal and stereo mounts are terrible”
Iloca I	“On some models all controls were not synchronized, so you had to set f-stops on each lens separately”
Image Tech 3D Magic	“Handling is very simple.” “Should be able to reload with reasonable care.”
Image Tech 3D Wizard	“Quite acceptable quality, especially considering the cost” “Optical quality is MUCH better than the 3D Magic”
Kodak	“Especially vulnerable to dust in the shutter and wear of an element of the film wind mechanism.”
Nishika	“Cheap Cheap Cheap. Fuzzy lenses.”
Revere Stereo 33	“Beautiful piece of work. Arguably the prettiest of more common American, if not all, stereo cameras. Beautifully finished brushed castings. Heavy, though. Would make a good weapon in a pinch.” "Only thing missing is a self timer and thumb lever film advance”
Stereo Realist	“Nasty vignetting problem” “I HATE the film rewind”
