  • Color and False-Color Films for Aerial Photography
    Color and False-Color Films for Aerial Photography RATFE G. TARKINGTON and ALLAN L. SOREM Research Laboratories, Eastman Kodak Company Rochester, N. Y. ABSTRACT: Color reproduction by the photographic process using three primary colors is discussed, and the 11se of these photographic and optical principles for false-color reproduction is explained. The characteristics of two new aerial films-Kodak Ektachrome Aero Film (Process E-3) and a false-color type, Kodak Ektachrome Infrared Aero Film (Process E-3)-are compared with those of the older products they replace. The new films have higher speed, im­ proved definition, and less granularity. OPULAR processes of color photography are KODAK EKTACHROME AERO FILM (PROCESS E-3) P based upon the facts that (1) the colors perceived by the human eye can be produced BLUE SENSITIVE YELLOW POSITIVE IMAGE by mixtures of only three suitably chosen =====::::==l=====~=~=~~[M~ colors called primaries; (2) photographic GREEN SENSITIVE MAGENTA POSITIVE IMAGE emulsions can be made to respond selectively REO SENSITIVE CYAN POSITIVE IMAGE to each of these three colors; and (3) chemical reactions exist which can produce three in­ dividual colorants, each capable of absorbing FIG. 1.

  • The Retina Reflex Guide
    by mischa koning kodak.3106.net > index manuals information The Retina Reflex Guide These web-pages have been scanned and converted from a photocopy of the "Focal Press" publication "Retina Reflex Guide", 1970 edition. There may be reference to "current" and "discontinued" models. Obviously all Retina cameras are now long discontinued, but For ease of editing if nothing else, all the original text has been retained. The original book was divided into two sections, effectively an overview and a "green pages" section covering specific models in more detail. I've not bothered with a green background to these pages, but hopefully I will have included links where appropriate to the relevant text. Similarly, page-number references; as I've included each sub- section of the book on one web-page, original page number references have been linked to the new layout.

  • KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman Invented an Emulsion-Coating Machine Which Enabled Him to Mass- Produce Photographic Dry Plates
    KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman invented an emulsion-coating machine which enabled him to mass- produce photographic dry plates. 1880 - Eastman began commercial production of dry plates in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y. 1881 - In January, Eastman and Henry A. Strong (a family friend and buggy-whip manufacturer) formed a partnership known as the Eastman Dry Plate Company. ♦ In September, Eastman quit his job as a bank clerk to devote his full time to the business. 1883 - The Eastman Dry Plate Company completed transfer of operations to a four- story building at what is now 343 State Street, Rochester, NY, the company's worldwide headquarters. 1884 - The business was changed from a partnership to a $200,000 corporation with 14 shareowners when the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company was formed. ♦ EASTMAN Negative Paper was introduced. ♦ Eastman and William H. Walker, an associate, invented a roll holder for negative papers. 1885 - EASTMAN American Film was introduced - the first transparent photographic "film" as we know it today. ♦ The company opened a wholesale office in London, England. 1886 - George Eastman became one of the first American industrialists to employ a full- time research scientist to aid in the commercialization of a flexible, transparent film base. 1888 - The name "Kodak" was born and the KODAK camera was placed on the market, with the slogan, "You press the button - we do the rest." This was the birth of snapshot photography, as millions of amateur picture-takers know it today. 1889 - The first commercial transparent roll film, perfected by Eastman and his research chemist, was put on the market.
