# Nishika N8000

One of my buddies gave me two [Nishika N8000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimslo#Nishika) cameras. These are odd cameras with four plastic lenses that shoot four small portrait images spread across two 35mm frames.

[![Sample of four photos scanned ](https://i0.wp.com/gregr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/stereo-fuji400-1196-small.jpg?fit=1024%2C335)](https://gregr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/stereo-fuji400-1196-small.jpg)Each of the four images is taken from a slightly different position creating a little bit of parallax between the images.

When the images are split apart and aligned you can create GIFs with some fun movement.

The camera has three aperture settings f/8, f/11, and f/19 and one shutter speed — 1/60th. I don’t really trust either of those numbers. At some point I’ll measure the shutter speed to make sure it’s not way off. I might also try and rig up something to see about the aperture, but that’s a lot harder.
