I was gifted a Nimslo 3D 35mm point
& shoot camera. The Nimslo is a unique 4-lens camera that shoots 4 x half-frame
sized photos of every image with a slightly different angle of view. There was
a special developing process called Lenticular Printing that would create a 3 dimensional
like photo from the 4 images. The 4 images are shot across 2 frames. Therefore,
a 36 exposure roll yields 18-4 frame images.
After basic research, I’ve not
found anyone doing this type of developing / printing so I’m using it simply
for fun to create a 4-panel photo. Kind of cool. There is a process currently
used to create “wiggle-gifs” which will be fun to try.
The camera is automatic with fixed
focus 30mm lens, auto exposure with no additional features. The only variable
is a 100 or 400 ASA switch. There is a hotshot which I’ve used to fire a
speedlight. Worked great.
The camera is well build with
metal / plastic / leatherette. The lenses are glass. It is sturdy.
I gave it a go with a couple of
rolls of fresh and expired film. The camera is very stealthy so it can easily
be used for street work. I’m a fan.
