The Photo-Stereo-Binocle is a miniature plate camera for mono or stereo exposures, disguised as a pair of binoculars (and in fact, McKeown states that the camera can actually be used as such[1]) made by Goerz of Berlin from about 1899 to 1910.[1][2] It takes 45x50 mm plates, singly or in pairs. It has 75 mm f/6.8 Dagor lenses; McKeown states that a Model II of the camera was made with cheaper Lynkeioskop lenses.[3] There is a Newton finder on top of the camera. In use as a camera, the 'binoculars' are rather unconvincing as a disguise; they are held back-to-front, with what seem to be eyepieces facing forwards.
