Were stereoscopic pictures taken during the Apollo missions?
Did the astronauts of the Apollo 11, 12, 14-17 take stereoscopic pictures of the lunar landscape?
I know many stereoscopic images were taken by the US probes that landed on Mars but I cannot find similar pictures for the Moon.
I would be especially interested to see such double photos that show distant hills or mountains in the background.

Yes indeed, stereo images are available from the Apollo missions.
Apollos 11, 12, & 14 carried a stereo camera for taking close-up images of the lunar soil, small rocks, & other small items of interest. The Planetary Society has some of these images converted to anaglyphs (the red-blue or red-green method).
Also, sets of other non-stereo images have been "re-mapped" to synthesize stereo pairs, as done for Apollo 11 and Apollo 14 images.
Thank you for your answer. I wonder if pictures like this ( hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a15/a15rb11053-4HR.jpg ) are made from true stereo images. If the red and cyan match for the closest mountain to the camera then the two color should be one above the other also for the other three more distant mountains. This appears not to be the case.There is a clear shift.
