I'm not sure what brought up stereo cameras, but an inexpensive way
to fool around with "them" is the way I did.  I bought the
"Pentax Stereo Adapter Set" that screws onto the front of my camera's (a
Pentax Super Program) normal lens -- like a 49mm filter.  The adapter
has front-silvered mirrors with a  separation of 7 cm., and comes with
a viewer.  It costed me something like $30 that I recall.  I special-ordered
it through JAFCO (A BEST-PRODUCTS company).  It makes two half-frame pictures
on the 35mm slide which you put into the viewer.  I haven't played with it
for some time, but I think I will find it & dust it off....

P.S.- As I recall, the adapter worked pretty well (with constraints,
such as you needing to stop-down exposures to f5.6 or f8) so long as
the slide developer guys mount the matched-pair half-frames into the
same slide! (Yep, you guess right on how I found that out!)
