After the development of the famous Rolleimarin for underwater photography with Rolleiflex TLR for Dr. Hans Hass, Reinhold Heidecke gave instructions to Richard Weiss to build a stereo camera for underwater photography with Rolleimarin. Only three prototypes were produced, the offered camera went to Hans Hass. He sold it later to Mr. R. Osterlen, who used the camera for many years also for regular stereo photography (it takes two 6x6 stereo images on two rolls of 120 film). Included is a stereo slide (Nepal) and two letters by Prof. Dr. Hans Hass to the previous owner. The camera is illustrated in Claus Prochnow 'Rollei Report 1' p.142-143
