Chapter 9 9 - Special cameras and accessories

All types of cameras look basically the same but are there any hidden objects that are different?

Since cameras became portable instead of being movable, and photographers wanted to capture clear and distinct pictures, and manufacturers were responding to these desires by producing more small cameras that could be hidden behind a newspaper, inside a paper bag, inside a small box, and even inside a hat. Among the most modern types are those that were placed inside the handle of a walking stick or inside a tie, or those that were made to look like a women’s handbag, or in the form of a small picture frame, or a book, or opera glasses, or in the form of a pistol or a pocket watch. The talk featured a camera in the shape of a Mickey Mouse toy head. One of the first rare artifacts was the appearance of a camera in the form of a Thompson pistol, which was, as the name implies, in the form of a large pistol. This invention was registered in 1862, and the camera used three slides
fast. A circular glass with a diameter of 3 inches gave four circular images that could be taken very sequentially. The camera had a very fast lens (2) that was precisely focused on a ground glass display. It is worth noting that this camera used wet glass slides with a circular rotating shutter.

Among the cameras that were popular at the end of the eighties of the nineteenth century was the secret police camera called the Marion Parcel Reactive Camera, which was traditional in shape, resembling a box, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string in the form of a box or a bag. It had a fixed focus lens and used 1/13.4/4-inch glass slides.

Among the types of cameras are also Cree Vest cameras, which were in the form of a disc installed behind a fixed front of a shirt. The camera was later redesigned without the shirt front. This design has been adopted by Styrene in Germany and has been produced and sold under a variety of designations

W has done. And the. c. Lancaster produced a camera in the form of a watch, and this camera was similar to the Hunter's watch when it was closed, except that it was expanded by interlocking tubes to take pictures. De Nuk hid a very small camera under a flat-top hat, and the viewfinder consisted of an inverted telescope hanging from the inside of the brim, and the lens was placed behind a small hole in front of the hat, and the shutter was released by pulling a small strap.

The handhold camera of 1888 used roll film and produced paper negatives. The camera, called the Jewel of the Ladies, was like a purse made of silver when closed, until it was folded to form the base plate of a bellows camera (Fig. 40). There is another similar camera with a crocodile skin cover on one side.

d. One of the most famous masked cameras is the Tika camera (Fig. 41), which was originally developed by Magnus Nabil of Switzerland. Its invention was recorded in 1904. The English-made model sold a number of 10,000 pieces in the first three months, and the models that came later were distinguished by their inclusion On a closed shutter in the focal plane, with speeds ranging from 1/70 to 1/400 of a second, and with a lens with a focal number of 6.5/2, the Teka camera was characterized by an artificial clock face set at ten and ten - this number indicates the angle of view in the camera.

. It was necessary during the war to produce smaller and more complex cameras, and one of the Japanese-made models included a camera and a cigarette lighter running on gasoline. Other forms of cameras were those that were installed in binoculars and in transistor radios.

As for cameras in the form of Mickey Mouse, they appeared in the year 1970, where we find the lens installed in the nose, and as for the ears, they were used as hand handles (Fig. 42).
