The Stereo Auto Graflex Camera was patented on February 5th, 1907 and manufactured by the Folmer & Schwing division of the Eastman Kodak company. Production continued until approximately 1923. Designed to accommodate the growing interest in stereo photography, this camera was unique in that the focusing hood acted as a stereoscope viewer. The two matched lens provide the operator a a single image on the ground glass screen that is right side up and viewed as one would see the finished stereo-gram.

The Stereo Auto Graflex Camera is fitted with a matched pair of Zeiss Kodak lens f6.3 or a matched pair of no. 3 Baush & Lomb-Zeiss Tessar Series IIb f6.3 lens. Like other Graflex cameras, this camera is supplied with the Graflex focal plane shutter capable of speeds from time to 1/1000 of a second. This camera measures 8 1/4 x 9 x 8 3/4 inches when closed and weighs 8 Lbs. The Basic model provided with a Zeiss Kodak anastigmat lens was priced at $206.50 in 1914.
