The Technology of Photographic Imaging

“The Museum of the History of Science has a small but fine collection of cameras, early photographic lenses and accessories, and darkroom equipment. In all there are about eight hundred items covering a wide spectrum of photographic history, from a lens of 1839 of the type used by Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre to an example of a 1960s Russian ‘FED 4’ camera and beyond.”
