David White Stereo Realist 1041 – 35mm Stereo Rangefinder Camera with f/3.5 Lenses

The Stereo Realist 1041 is a legendary 35mm stereo camera, introduced in 1947 by the David White Company. Designed by Seton Rochwite, it became the most popular stereo camera of its time, pioneering the “5P” stereo format and sparking a wave of 3D photography in the mid-20th century. With matched f/3.5 Anastigmat 35mm lenses, precision rangefinder focusing, and rugged construction, it’s ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage stereoscopy.

This unit is in very good cosmetic condition but the shutter release is not working so sold as seen ( overall condition rating of poor)
