I have done that already. I own some of the best stereo cameras ever made
(from the German company RBT, www.rbt-3d.de)
"Nothing else is necessary" is true only if you are doing one type of
photography.
A stereo camera has a fixed stereo base (distance between the lenses).
There are a lot of applications where a different stereo base is needed.
The Olympus gear will cover the areas of variable stereo base, such as:
- Hyperstereos (two cameras separated by larger distances)
- Hypo/close-up stereo (one camera and a slide bar)
- Macro/micro photography
- Astrophotography
For these applications I was using Minolta equipment at first. Then sold
them to acquire Pentax equipment because one of my RBT stereo cameras uses
Pentax lenses. I was never happy with Pentax, so I briefly flirted with
Nikon equipment. And now, I am settling for Olympus.
What I have spend so far for Olympus gear is only a small fraction of just
one stereo camera. This one:
