by Mr.Junichi Sekiguchi
Mr.Junichi Sekiguchi, a most active Stereo Realist user in Japan, has succeeded to modify Realist 2.8 to European format.
- Changed the gear under sprocket guard to accomplish 8 perforation film advance. The new gear was picked out from a junk camera.
- Also axis of the gear was moved because diameter of new gear was small.
- The apertures were enlarged from 23.5 to 30.5mm width.
- Film winding is controlled by photographer so as to advance 1-3-1 film frame.
- Chrome metal was painted in black.
- The leather was also changed to lizard one.
In photo-3d mailing list, Dr.T has praised his achievements, "Excellent!!! You have earned yourself a spot on the Stereo Realist Hall of Fame!".
