He uses the Stemar 33mm f/3.5 stereo system with Prism. It is really an amzing system. I have seen most of his images and am knocked out by the sharpness and effect. He uses very fine grain Kodak color reversal, which helps, the colors are amazing. The Stemar system was introduced in 1954 and I believe were mostly built in Canada. The system included the 33mm Lens, Prism and Lens hood. To view the images, the Stemar Viewer is used, code named Ohteo, or projection is achieved with stereo projection lenses. We project with a Prado 500 and Twin Lens Elmar 50mm f/3.5. The format is unbeatable but unfortunately, like most quality Leica equipment, it is very collectible, and the price very high. About the beamsplitter, I believe Leica made one for the Leica 1, 11 and 111 model cameras. It was called the Stereoly. I am not sure if it would work on an M6 or not, some adapters may be required.
