Hugh 38 Posted March 24, 2017 Share #182 Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks for the above pictures . I was especially interested in the tandem drive set up . Any dance of a close up ? I would like to see it in more detail please. Three SL2s in one picture !! One of mine is away for repairs and I miss it. Many times I have been out with a Leicalflex , of various models , and people ask about it , why not get a new camera ? I then show them the camera and their questions are answered .

ramarren Posted March 24, 2017 Share #188 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) In my big equipment reorganization, I sold off one Leicaflex SL body and a few of my R lenses, but I kept my favorite black body and 15, 21, 50, 60 Macro, 90, 100 Macro, 135, and 180 mm lenses. That still rather a lot for the amount that I use it, but it's such a sweet system. I like that I can leave the battery out entirely if I feel like it and just shoot with it.

thebarnman Posted March 25, 2017 Share #192 Posted March 25, 2017 SL2 and 80mm is indeed a perfect combo. Here's the SL2 tandem closeup requested. Looks like a good system for distant stereo photography! Simply make sure both cameras are perfectly horizontal. The SL2 on the left seems to be leaning to the left. Or is that distortion from a lens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 38 Posted March 25, 2017 Share #193 Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the picture of the tandem drive. I had heard of one though never see one , some piece of kit !

Here https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/1948817_leica-leica-r-tandem-coupling-device-14185 it's described as a "rare device for two SL (SL2) MOT cameras for simultaneous use with motor drive..." Simultaneous use with motor drive? If that's not a use for stereo photography; then I don't know what is. I have no idea why anyone would want such a device if it's not going to be used for stereo photography. Could you please explain why else would anyone would want to be shooting off two cameras at the same time.

Thanks The Leica tandem coupling device could be used for stereo photography I suppose, but it is not perfectly aligned, not is it able to be adjusted to be perfectly aligned. I suppose you could modify one to work though. I paid $70 for mine. As Phillip said, it is for shooting a moment with different focal lengths - with the possibility of simultaneous exposures with the special release - or for shooting at more than the 3.7 fps of a single SL2Mot, when the two cameras are released at slightly different times.

Could you please explain why else would anyone would want to be shooting off two cameras at the same time. Thanks Hello Thebarnman, At the time that the Leicaflex SL mot was introduced Leitz said that 1 of the reasons for the outfit was for the use of 2 lenses of different focal lengths simultaneously, as Philipp said above. A second reason was that the shutter release mechanisms could be set to release SEQUENTIALLY so that: If a person used lenses of the same focal length on both cameras & released the shutters on both cameras at the same time: Photos could effectively be captured at TWICE the speed of 1 motorized camera taking photos alone. Nifty. Best Regards, Michael Edited March 25, 2017 by Michael Geschlecht Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted March 25, 2017 Share #199 Posted March 25, 2017 Any misalignment would not preclude the device from being used for stereo work as you could adjust the slides before mounting them. The very long base would be more problematic as it would practically restrict it to landscape photography. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very long base would be more problematic as it would practically restrict it to landscape photography. Correct: The base being wider than the normal distance of two eyes is hyperstereo, (everything looks miniature,) and yes...that would be restricted to distance (landscape) photography. The stereo base being more narrow than the normal distance between two eyes is called hypostereo (where everything looks larger than normal,) where smaller subjects like insects etc. look huge. A normal stereo base is referred to as Orthostereo. It seems to me the SL2 tandem can be perfectly used to produce hyperstereo photography...assuming one uses the same type of lens on both cameras.
