The Owla Stereo (アウラステレオ) is a Japanese stereo camera taking pairs of 23×24mm exposures on 35mm film. It was first announced in 1956 by Sankei Kōki under the name Stereo Sankei (ステレオサンケイ), and was later made by Owla Kōki until the early 1960s.
General description
The Owla Stereo has an all-metal body. The viewfinder window is contained in the middle of the top housing. The film is advanced by a knob at the right end of the top plate, as seen by the photographer, and the rewind knob is at the opposite end. The shutter release is at its usual location on the right, and is surrounded by a small cup. The exposure counter is above the top housing, to the left of the viewfinder, and there is an accessory shoe on the right. The back is hinged to the right for film loading.
The lenses are contained in a metal casing with round edges, grafted to the front of the body. A sliding button is visible above this casing, certainly the shutter setting lever. The synch post is placed under the left-hand lens, and there is an F/X selector under the other lens. The speed and aperture are controlled by turning the lens rims: the left-hand lens rim has the aperture scale and the right-hand lens rim has B, 10–200 speed settings.
