How do I get started doing 3D with a Pentax Stereo Adapter?
Re: How do I get started doing 3D with a Pentax Stereo Adapter?
Hello
I just have ordered a second hand Pentax stereo adapter (being too lazy to find the original one which started my 3D hobby 36 years ago). From what I remember is that there are four important things to consider using this adapter. The filter thread has to be 49mm. The focal length has to be 50mm or more. Playing with the aperture has an effect on the size (thickness) of the black bar in the middle. Of course you want this to be as minimal as possible.
There is also the issue with reflections. Light sources (sun!) can have a devastating effect on the mirrors making the stereoscopic picture useless.
Hope to play with the adapter during the Christmas holiday. First on a Canon 50mm lens using the full frame 5D MkII (21 megapixels). Maybe later also on the A7R (with 36 megapixels). And maybe after that on a camera with a smaller sensor size. I am wondering if 50mm "equivalent" will also do the job. And of course what the result will then be on the black bar in the middle (because you are actually using a wide angle lens).
