I put two Pentax ESII's side-by-side on a special bracket. I focus using the hyperfocal distance setup at f8, and two SMC f2 35mm lenses. I used a double cable release I got from a stereo store called Reel 3D. I had to push the plunger down on the cable setup so both cameras would trip at the same time. I had the cameras set on auto. The rig was heavy. It got a lot of attention. I shot E-6 film (Provia F100). The processed rolls were not mounted so I could place them in special mounts. When projected they looked great.
