Re: 3D-Printed Anaperture Single-Shot Anaglyph Aperture

Wow! Two "heavy-weights" of stereo-3d posting in one thread !

Regarding the single-shot anaglyph approach, I must admit I didn't try the anaperture. But I did experiment with DIY analogs of QDOS lens - I used to glue red-blue filters on the back of (generic) 35/2.8, Minolta 24-104 f/3.5-4.5 and Minolta 35-70 f/3.5-4.5. All are full-frame lenses used with APS-C cameras.

I confirm the bokeh being odd, but generally the results are interesting.

In any case the area where both left- and right frames appear with proper "strength" is larger when the lens diameter is larger - e.g. faster aperture and/or larger focal distance.

In my opinion the most appealing is 35/2.8 (or faster), since "normal" lens is desirable for stereo, not telephoto. 35/3.5 and 29/2.8 proved to be unusable.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the main catch with this approach applies to anaperture too: you cannot make ghost-reduced anaglyph. E.g. if your scene doesn't include saturated primary colors, the result is fine, otherwise the photo is non-viewable.

What would really be nice, is a device that takes full-color left-right photos sequentially through anaperture holes. I'd think of shutter-glasses synchronized with 30fps 4K video capture.
