The Kin-Dar stereo camera was made by the Kinder Company, 908 Sherman Avenue, South Milwaukee, USA in 1954. It takes Realist Format stereo pairs on 35mm film. It has a pair of Steinheil Cassar f/3.5 35mm lenses in five-speed shutters. The coupled rangefinder is combined in the bottom-mounted viewfinder.

It was designed by Seton Rochwite who designed the Stereo Realist camera.[1] Advertised at USD $99.50, the Kin-Dar cost about 63% of an f/3.5 Stereo Realist of the time.[2]
