Pixel peeping DPR samples really is sick. There's nothing between any of the cameras. They are made for taking photos not this nonsense.

One camera only needs slightly more sharpening than the others to look the best.

I noticed on ebay that the box that a 3D Coronet camera had been posted in said 'from Quaker Oats' so they must have either sold them or given them as prizes.

Also on ebay are some slide viewers that take two normal slides. They would be very useful for 3D slides taken using focusing rails.

You could even stick two standard slide viewers together.

There must have been a stereo program in some Optio cameras. This is the viewer..

There's a lot of interesting stereo stuff on ebay going back to the 1800's. Just put "(stereo,3D) viewer" in the search box and select the "Cameras & Photography" category.

There's no reason why you couldn't just print any stereo pair and view them with or without a viewer. Some of the best I've ever seen were B&W prints on glossy paper.

The problem with the slide viewers is that it only holds one slide at a time. Very slow.

You can also use a focusing rail sideways to take two shots. Novoflex actually made one specially for stereo with mm markings to vary the offset. This one.

Also this one for people whose eyes are about 150mm apart

I remember seeing some 3D slides done by a shop fitting company they were very good and showed their work very well.

Stitz did one that was adjustable for focal length etc.

I've still got one somewhere.

Similar products were used for passport photos to get two shots on a single Polaroid.

The new Pentax could be based on the Tokina.
