The Stereo Hit is a Japanese camera taking pairs of 3×4cm exposures on 127 film, made by Tougodo from 1955.
 Description:
 The Stereo Hit has a body made of plastic, looking very similar to contemporary models using 35mm film. The top housing covers the whole length of the body. It shows no engraving, contains the viewfinder in the middle and has an accessory shoe on the right.
 A black rectangular casing protrudes on the front of the camera, containing the shutter mechanism. On top of this casing we find the release button on the right, a PC synch socket on the left and a sliding lever in the middle, used to wind the shutter, which is certainly of the guillotine type. The front part of the casing has a silver-coloured rectangular plate with rounded angles, encompassing the two lenses and inscribed STEREO HIT in large uppercase letters in the middle. Above and below this marking are two small knobs: the upper one has a red dot and selects the lens aperture, it has 9 and 16 positions and the word STOP is inscribed above; the lower one has a green dot and B and I indications, for Bulb and Instant (1/25) settings, and the word SHUTTER is inscribed below.
 The lenses are fixed-focus and are spaced by 63mm.[1] The rims are inscribed COATED S–OWLA F=4.5cm. There is no diaphragm iris but Waterhouse stops on a sliding plate. Next to the right-hand lens is a small lever switching the shutter operation from STEREO to SINGLE. The S-Owla is a meniscus lens; its name is perhaps related to the Owla company which later made the Owla Stereo, announced in 1956.
 The camera has manual advance and the film runs from right to left. The advance knob is at the top left and has an arrow engraved to indicate the winding direction. The back is hinged to the right and contains one or two red windows in the middle, protected by horizontally sliding individual covers; instructions for use are displayed on various plates screwed above the back leather.
 The Stereo Hit was first advertised in Asahi Camera in August 1955, and was announced in various magazines in September. The September and October advertisements in Asahi Camera say that the camera was "recommended by Mr. Yoshikawa Hayao.
 The advertisements for the Stereo Hit disappeared very soon, and none is found after October 1955. The camera is listed again in the Summer 1957 special issue of Shashin Kōgyō on Japanese cameras, at an unchanged price. This is the last known mention of the Stereo Hit, whose production was perhaps already stopped by the time.
 Most of our early family pictures were taken with this camera.
