    Pacific Optical Corp, USA. They are noted for one known item which seems to have been a very innovative one. A reference to it has been seen in an old USA magazine suggesting it was really very early for a fish lens. Perifoto cine lens, fish type, f1.5/3.5mm (0.1364in) for 165°coverage, for 16mm cine. Seen at No 34x, Model 730A, this has a large (4.5in dia, 4.5in deep) black barrel, which in this case seems to have lost the iris and filters with a big front negative lens well in front of a tiny rear system. It has only limited back focus, and was probably suitable for 16mm but not for larger cameras. Fig 031 008 Pacific Optical Corp, 165° Fish No730A-344.

    The Camera The Ansel Adams Photography Series / Book 1 The Camera Ansel Adams with the collaboration of Robert Baker LITTLE, BROWN AND COMPANY NEW YORK BOSTON In 1976, Ansel Adams selected Little, Brown and Company as the sole authorized publisher of his books, calendars, and posters. At the same time, he established The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust in order to ensure the continuity and quality of his legacy - both artistic and environmental. As Ansel Adams himself wrote, "Perhaps the most important characteristic of my work is what may be called print quality. It is very important that the reproduc­ tions be as good as you can possibly get them." The authorized books, calendars, and posters published by Little, Brown have been rigorously supervised by the Trust to make certain that Adams' exacting standards of quality are maintained. Only such works published by Little, Brown and Company can be considered authentic representations of the genius of Ansel Adams.

    Camera Basics, Principles and Techniques –MCD 401 Organized by:-Rao Rajpoot Muhammad Bilal 0306-8994125, April 21, 2019 Topic no. 1 PHOTOGRAPHY PART I Whether you're hanging out with friends on the beach or reading about the history of the 1930s, photography will likely make an appearance. The oldest known photograph dates back to 1826, but the structure that would become the first camera was described by Aristotle. The process of taking pictures has become increasingly refined during the 19th century, transitioning from heavy glass plates to light, gelatin-coated flexible film. Today, once-innovative film cameras take a back seat to the convenience and ease of digital cameras. Photography is a fun form of art and many people are engaged in it. This is because of the wide form of artistry it can create with the uniqueness of every shot. People around the globe have appreciated the aftermaths of amazing photography. Do you know what makes these photos look amazingly stunning? It is because of the photography composition each one has. It would indeed be futile if you take shots without considering photography composition. You will not be able to give your images a perfect beauty without it. There are some photography composition techniques that one can do but it is the photographer’s touch and creativity that makes each output unique. 1. It creates more appealing photos 2. To deliver a more convincing story 3. It looks more professional. 4. It has balance 5. It makes unique pictures 6. It shows a personality7. It adds more life to images 8.

  • View Cameras and Accessories.Pdf
    View Cameras and Accessories Introduction to the View Camera The view camera incorporates many of the same basic camera parts found in other cameras, including a camera body, a viewing system, a lens and a shutter for admitting and controlling light as well as a film plane where the image is formed on film. Basic Camera Controls Camera body is referred as either a rail or flatbed. The front and rear standard are mounted on and move along a rail or flatbed. Rails offer more flexible movement, but flatbeds make the view camera more portable. Lens admits light rays to the camera, and causes them to converge at the film plane and create the image. Front Standard holds the lens mounted on a lens board and is designed to tilt, swing, or shift the lens into various positions. Rear Standard, holds the film holder, and contains the ground glass. It is designed to tilt, swing, or shift the film into various positions. Bellows holds the front and rear standards are connected by a lightproof bellows, designed to let the two standards move independently. Ground Glass is a matte, light-diffusing surface that is mounted on the rear standard. It sits at the film plane when a film holder is not in the camera, and the lens projects the image onto it -- upside down. The photographer composes and focuses the upside-down image on the ground glass, using the loupe to check sharpness. Once the image has been composed, a film holder with pre-loaded film is inserted and exposed. Advantages/Disadvantages in Using a View Camera Advantages Large format film, from 4” x 5” and larger, renders an image of the highest visual quality, including sharpness, resolution, tonality as well as color description and saturation.
