FED Zorki Stereo

The FED Zorki Stereo is a specialized 35mm camera produced in the Soviet Union between 1961 and 1965, notable primarily for its twin-lens system designed specifically for creating stereo photographs. Utilizing standard 135 film, it incorporates two matched lenses and a built-in stereoscopic viewer, allowing photographers to capture and preview images with a three-dimensional effect, a feature aimed at the hobbyist market exploring new visual experiences. As a product of the FED factory, known for its Leica-inspired rangefinder cameras like the standard Zorki line, the Stereo variant represents a pragmatic, utilitarian adaptation for a niche application, constructed from basic materials typical of Soviet consumer optics of the era, prioritizing functionality over refinement.
