What it is
The Zionscope (45x107) is an early stereo camera designed for the 45x107mm glass plate format, a stereoscopic standard widely used in the early twentieth century. It was built for paired-image stereo photography rather than single-frame work.
With stereo plate cameras of this era, inspect the bellows for pinholes, check that both shutters fire in sync, and verify the lenses are matched and free of separation or heavy haze. Plate holders and ground-glass backs are often missing or damaged, and replacements in the 45x107 format can be difficult to source.
