The first is the very rare Leitz Wetzlar 4 notch stereoly. The stereoly is a rare item rated R6 on a rarity scale in the Hove collectors book. The 4 notch version is even rarer. R6 means it is very rare with a possible availability of once in 2 years. This device consists of a beam splitter and a support arm to secure it to the camera accessory shoe. This is a 1939 production of the stereoly, serial number 2987, which features a Leica type viewfinder. It has four notches on the arm. It is believed, the fourth notch was provided to accommodate the prism when used with a Leica IIIB. It was also placed to allow adjustment of the prism when it is used in stereo projection. The Leica stereoly attachment splits the image before the rays of light enter the lens. The film again records two upright stereo images 18x24mm side by side on the standard 24x36mm frame.
