Types of cameras.. 35 mm camera

types of cameras
There are many types of cameras suitable for many types of purposes. There is the simple camera for taking family photos, and there is the appropriate machine for the amateur photographer who wants to test different types of photography, and there is the appropriate machine for the professional photographer, for the photojournalist, etc. It is obvious that there are various circumstances for photographing, and these require several types of cameras.
There is no perfect camera, rather there is a camera that suits a certain type of photography more than others. The serious photographer, whether amateur or professional, owns or uses several types of cameras. He chooses the right machine for a certain type of photography.
Here personal preference plays an important role.
Some prefer the photojournalism camera, others prefer the camera

35mm Reflex or 2 1/4" x 1/4" Camera
Or it is preferable to use a tripod with a wide range of lenses and accessories.

In any case, it is not necessary to own a set of cameras, or own an expensive camera, to learn photography, as all standard machines work in the same way. And when they are used well, they are all capable of giving an excellent picture. You can, of course, use your camera that you own now, and you may later purchase additional devices and accessories when you feel the need for them.

We will study below the cameras used by amateurs only, and we will study briefly other special cameras used by professionals for special purposes in the fields of commerce and industry.

1 - Camera 35 mm

The name of this camera is taken from the size of the film used in it. Its width is 35 mm, and the dimensions of the negative are 24 x 35 mm. This camera has a wide range of lenses, which makes it versatile and the most popular among cameras.

This type of camera dates back to 1923. Prior to this date, there were smaller models, but they were poorly designed and highly specialized, and did not reach the degree of popularity until the introduction of the Laica camera in 1923 and made the 35 mm camera take its full potential.
This high-resolution camera gives its tiny lens a high-definition image, which makes the small negative crystal (24 x 35 mm) able to be enlarged to any desired size, without the image losing its clarity and quality.
The demand for this type of camera has increased, and in a short period of time it has become the most popular camera.

35 mm cameras can be classified into two categories: Class I:
It is a normal camera with a viewfinder equipped with a rangefinder or scale focusing.

The second category:
It is a single lens reflex camera.

1- Standard 35mm Camera
The most advanced type of these cameras is equipped with a telemeter integrated into the machine (photo 2) and this scale is linked to the focusing process of the lens, in such a way that if it is placed at the correct distance, the focus process of the lens takes place at the same time.
However, this type of camera has two drawbacks: the first: the image in the viewfinder is small, which makes the process of composing that image difficult, and the details in the field of view are not clear. Types of collimators have been developed that can be attached to the body of the camera, allowing for clearer vision, which is helpful when using a telephoto lens with a small field of view.
The second defect: for a regular 35 mm camera, is that the viewfinder and the viewfinder are not in the same place, and as a result, the image visible through the viewfinder covers the same area as the camera lens. This difference in appearance is called (parallax).

In normal circumstances, the difference in scenery is not of great importance, and its effect can be neglected, but it becomes important when photographing subjects or people who are close, as the image may come and parts of it that you saw with the aiming device have come out.
