Nimslo 3D
The Nimslo 3D is a 35mm film camera that uses four lenses to capture four slightly offset images on a single frame, intended for lenticular print production. It was introduced in the early 1980s and sold as a consumer novelty product aimed at amateur photographers interested in stereoscopic imaging.
At UK auction today, hammer prices for the Nimslo 3D have ranged from around £44 to £110, based on a small sample of saleroom results. With only two recorded sales, the value of any individual example is highly condition-sensitive and the price a Nimslo 3D sells for can swing significantly between auctions.
