Introduction to the Rolleicord Vb Type II, Video 1 of 2        14 December 2013

 

Franke & Heidecke's Rolleicord lineage ended with the Vb Type II.

When this model's production run ended in 1977,

it marked the end of the Rolleicord line. And what a note to end on.

 

The Vb Type II contains most of the important pro-grade features

and differs from Rolleiflex cameras only in maximum aperture

and the lack of a film advance crank.

 

Every bit as capable of taking stunning pictures

as any Rolleflex or other TLR,

the Rolleicord line represented

a way for camera users to enter the TLR market

without having to pay for a top-end Rolleiflex.

Nikon FM

 

The Nikon FM is a mechanically operated,

interchangeable lens, 35 mm film,

single-lens reflex (SLR) camera.

 

It was manufactured

in Japan between 1977 and 1982

by Nippon Kogaku K. K.

1960s > Nikon F

 

The Nikon F camera,

introduced in April 1959,

was Nikon's first SLR camera.

 

[ A single-lens reflex camera (SLR)

is a camera that typically uses

a mirror and prism system

(hence "reflex" from the mirror's reflection)

that permits the photographer to view through the lens

and see exactly what will be captured.

With twin lens reflex and rangefinder cameras,

the viewed image could be significantly

different from the final image.

 

When the shutter button is pressed on most SLRs,

the mirror flips out of the light path,

allowing light to pass through to the light receptor

and the image to be captured.]

 

It was one

of the most advanced cameras of its day.

 

Although many of the concepts

had already been introduced elsewhere,

it was revolutionary in that it was the first

to combine them all in one camera.

 

It was produced until October 1973

and was replaced by the Nikon F2.

 

Aspects of its design remain

in all of Nikon's subsequent SLR cameras,

through the current Nikon F6 film

and Nikon D5 digital models

(which still share its Nikon F-mount for lenses).

 

The "F" in Nikon F

was selected from the term "re-f-lex",

since the pronunciation of the first letter "R"

is not available in many Asian languages.

 

That tradition was carried all the way

through their top line of Nikon cameras

until the introduction of the Nikon D1 (digital) cameras

decades later.

 

Specially modified Nikon F cameras

were used in space in the early 1970s

aboard the Skylab space station.

Speed Graphic

 

The Speed Graphic

was a press camera

produced by Graflex

in Rochester, New York.

 

Although the first

Speed Graphic cameras

were produced in 1912,

production of later versions

continued until 1973;

with the most significant improvements

occurring in 1947

with the introduction

of the Pacemaker Speed Graphic

(and Pacemaker Crown Graphic,

which was one pound [0.45 kg] lighter

and lacked the focal plane shutter).

Ikonta

Zeiss-Ikon's top product line

of folding medium format cameras

were badged Ikonta

and were generally of superior quality

when compared with corresponding folding camera models

of Zeiss-Ikon's Nettar product line.

 

Launched in 1929,

they were offered in four models: A, B, C, & D.

 

The A, B, & C size took 120 film.

 

The A, B, & C produced negatives

in 6x4.5 format, 6x6 format, and 6x9 format, respectively.

 

The Ikonta D produced larger negatives

on either 116 or 616 format film. respectively.

 

There was also a Baby Ikonta, which used 127 film.

 

The first series of Ikonta

were also labeled the 520 series.

 

The Ikonta A, B, & C,

were also 520, 520/16, and the 520/2,

 

Around 1940,

the 520 series gave way to the 521 series

which added a shutter release on the body

and a double exposure prevention.

 

Only the A, B, & C models continued.

 

In the early 1950s,

the 523 was launched for the B & C models.

 

A chrome top plate with an integral finder

and an accessory shoe was added.

 

The 524 series added

an uncoupled rangefinder

and was also called the "Mess" Ikonta.

 

Hubert Nerwin

designed the Ikonta 35 for 35mm film.

 

It was a viewfinder camera.

 

Nerwin created versions with with rangefinder,

the Contina with separate optical viewfinder,

and the Contessa with a big optical viewfinder

plus superimposed Super-Ikonta-like coupled rangefinder.

 

The Ikonta 35 and the Contina

were soon renamed to Contina and Contina II.

 

In the United States

early Ikontas were sold

under the name Ikomat.

The Ur-Leica        UK

 

The original Leica prototype of 1914

is considered as revolutionary

a technological development

as the advent of the mobile phone.

 

Compact and lightweight

– a mere 400g –

and using 35mm cinematic film,

it was small enough

to fit into a coat pocket,

and rapidly became essential not only

to professional photographers

but also amateurs,

thereby bringing photography

into everyday life.

Kodak No 1 Camera

– early images to mark its 125th anniversary        UK        2013

 

The Kodak No 1 camera,

launched 125 years ago,

was pre-loaded with 100 exposures

and required customers to use all the film

and then return the camera to Kodak

for processing.

 

The customer then received 100 images,

all circles with a diameter of 2.5 inches (6.5cm).

 

The camera from the Eastman Kodak company

was publicised with the famous slogan:

You Press the Button, We Do the Rest
