Spec Notes
Two images per exposure in the five-perforation Realist stereo format, 20 stereo pairs per cartridge. FRAME SIZE SETTLED AT 23 x 24 mm: Kodak's own instruction book prints 'Transparency Size - 23mm x 24mm', a museum object record gives '2 x 23 x 24mm' and a repair specialist agrees; the 24 x 24 mm figure comes from a single source shown unreliable elsewhere in this slice. Front-cell focusing coupled to BOTH lenses, 4 ft to infinity, scale focus with the right dial marked in feet and the left in Close-ups / Groups / Scenes. Direct-vision finder between the lenses with a spirit level visible in it. $84.50. LENS SEPARATION IS UNPUBLISHED, and that is a real negative rather than a gap in searching: Kodak's manual says only that the lenses are 'spaced about the same distance as the eyes', and the figure appears in no Kodak document, no museum record and no reference work checked. The field is left empty rather than filled from the Realist standard. Note the tier - ANASTON, Kodak's mid-grade name, not Ektar. Bodies carry a serial (one museum example is 019609); no serial-to-year table. Dimensions 70 x 190 x 62 mm come from a museum's measurement of one object, not a Kodak spec, and are recorded as prose only. Weight NOT SOURCED. DATING: NONE. The CAMEROSITY lens prefix is attested only on Ektar, Anastigmat Special and Anastar lenses. No prefixed EKTANAR or ANASTON serial could be found in Kodak literature, museum records, dealer inventory or auction text, and no source states whether those tiers are inside or outside the scheme - so this camera is NOT datable from its lens. The four-letter body date code that cheap Kodaks carry is not sourced for this model either. DATES ARE MARKET DATES, NOT PRODUCTION. Kodak's own AA-13 heads its columns 'ON THE MARKET FROM / TO', and no Kodak-published production date exists for any camera in this slice - every third-party 'production years' figure checked is a restatement of AA-13.
