Simda was a company founded in Paris by Simone and Daniel Guébin (they were wife and husband; the company name is a combination of their names),[1] in 1955, according to Collection d'Appareils.[2] An advertisement gives the comany address as 13 bis Rue du Bel-Air, in Perreux-sur-Marne, a residential area; the building still stands.
The company is known for only one camera, the Panorascope, a stereo camera for panoramic views on 16 mm cine film. Two models of this camera were made.
A stereo projector for 35 mm slides made by Simda was sold at Westlicht.[3]
