View-Master Resource
While many people think of View-Masters as toys, Eddie Bowers, who runs View-Master Resource, clearly considers them serious photographic tools. In fact, the focus of his site is on shooting your own 3-D photos, and then mounting them into Personal Reels. To this end, he’s posted numerous manuals on View-Master Personal Stereo Cameras, Film Cutters, and Film Inserters. There’s also a section featuring re-creations and reproductions of popular View-Master sleeves, so that collectors can print out new covers for their vintage Disneyland, Smithsonian, and “Lost in Space” reels.
