привет товарищ! This little moster is the Sputnik 3D camera, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. It takes 120 film, which you load upside down and wind the "wrong" way. The viewfinder is a top-down thing that unceremoniously pops up four separate spring-loaded metal pieces, which you fold back down one at a time. There are no frilly American conveniences .. and yet everything is completely adjustable to your precise desire.
Click the portait over there, and revel in the detailed awesomeness. Three gears around the eyes keep the focus in sync. The bar under the lenses sets the aperture of both at once. A manual lever cocks the shutter spring and another fires. There's a delayed shutter feature, even. A dial around the right eye sets shutter speed and displays the current f-stop. Everything you need, with none of the corrupt western extras like batteries and cheery auto-everything modes.

I've shot a roll of Ilford XP2 Super, to see how it functions. I then used Anaglyph Workshop to combine the two eyes into red-blue composites, which works nicely. My favorite shot is the kid by the fountain, but everyone else seems to like the hall of flowers interior. You be the judge.
