Wirgin Edixa Stereo III

The Edixa Stereo III by Wirgin is a stereo camera designed to create pairs of 35mm photographs intended for viewing through a stereoscope to produce a three-dimensional effect. Characteristic of Wirgin's product range, it offers an accessible entry point into stereo photography, utilizing a dual-lens system with a fixed separation, likely around 65mm, mimicking human vision. The camera is constructed of metal and bakelite or similar early plastics, typical for its probable era (mid-20th century), featuring a simple shutter mechanism and aperture controls suited for its purpose. It represents the consumer application of stereo imaging technology, appealing to hobbyists interested in the novelty of 3D photography during a period when such formats had a dedicated, albeit niche, following.
