History of the Camera Part 1
15 Hundred Years in a Few Hundred Seconds. Camera Obscura:
A hole in the Tent
Camera Obscura
A Hole in a Tent: Pinhole Camera First records 6th Century A darken tent, room, or
box with a pinhole in it Pretty bulky, and didn’t
fit in cell-phones Eventually added a
Convex Lens
View or Field Camera 1
Perfect if you’re nuts! Became all the rage by
the Civil War Had a reasonable lens
and shutter Used glass plates for
film Not as bulky, but still
didn’t fit in cell-phones
View or Field Camera 2 Bought it when I
was 16 The guy has
been trying to buy it back ever since
The favorite in my collection looks like this
View or Field Camera Diagram
The Original SLR: Single Lens Reflex 1
The Graflex Came in several sizes Didn’t use glass plates Quite portable! Image you see is coming
through the 1 lens. Didn’t have to take it
apart to take a picture Fastest camera around
for its time
The Original SLR: Single Lens Reflex 2
Light reflects off mirror up to ground glass
During exposure mirror flips up and light goes to film
WWI: Amazing tech at the time
The Original SLR: Single Lens Reflex Diagram
Medium Format:Twin Lens Reflex
Very portable Light, quiet, fast Used roll film Could be made cheaply
and still have nice results Still popular today for the
same reasons Most didn’t let you change
the lens Still didn’t fit in a cell
phone
Medium Format:Twin Lens Reflex Diagram
Rangefinder Focus & 35mm
Leica first popular 35mm rangefinder
Small, light, quiet, fast, made WWII spies effective
Could fit it in your pocket
Rangefinder Focus & 35mm
Leica was not a folding design
This Kodak Automatic IIIs didn’t either
These designs had interchangeble lenses
The folding ones fit in your pocket better
Rangefinder Focus Medium Format: My Latest Find
Medium Format SLR Hasselblad the best
known Like the Graflex,
but used roll film Hasselblad was the
first camera on the moon
All of these designs are expensive
(Moon model broke during first roll)
Rangefinder Focus Medium Format Diagram
Medium Format SLR: Used Same Design as the Old 4x5 Graflex
Some were very inexpensive
This model was so expensive, it was the last professional camera Kodak ever made
Became very automated
Great design for the non-professional
35mm SLR
Small and quiet Incredible options Lenses change
easily Amazing selection
of theses lenses Extremely popular
consumer camera Later became
Digital (DSLR)
35mm SLR: A More Modern Version
35mm SLR
Summarize Cameras are still made in lots of sizes We’ve covered the most obvious designs Film cameras popularity goes up and
down There is probably at least one of these
types in your family that no one uses Be really nice to that relative
