The Isographe is a strut-folding stereo camera for 6x6cm stereo pairs, made by Baudry from 1928 until about 1945, rather later than most stereo cameras. Notes by Sylvan Halgand at Collection Appareils state that Baudry made cameras by hand-craft methods, which meant that they vary in exact specification. Two rather different examples are shown at Collection Appareils:

• A camera for 6x13cm plates, which has fixed-focus Berthiot 75mm f/5.7 Olor lenses. This has a metal bar below the lenses, which links the two aperture controls.
• A camera for 620 roll film, which has focusing 75mm f/4.5 Berthiot Flor lenses. This has a similar metal bar but in this example it links them so that they focus together; it is adjusted by a rod leading to a rotating knob at the right side of the camera. Their apertures, still linked, are set by a separate sliding control.

Both examples have a guillotine shutter with speeds 1 - 1/200 second, plus 'B'. They have a large frame finder, which has two metal discs mounted on it, which serve as lens-caps when the camera and finder are folded.
