LOMO Sputnik Stereo Camera (Спутник)

LOMO Sputnik Stereo Camera (Спутник)

The LOMO Sputnik is a unique Soviet-era medium format stereo camera designed to capture the world in three dimensions. Built in the USSR, this Bakelite-bodied Triple Lens Reflex (TLR) uses 120 roll film to produce pairs of 6x6 images simultaneously. When viewed through a stereoscope, these images create a vivid sense of depth and immersion. It is a highly sought-after piece for collectors and analog enthusiasts who appreciate the distinct vintage aesthetic and the rare mechanical charm of 1950s 3D photography.
