35mm Camera Shutter: At first the "open flash" method was used: with the Camera on a tripod, the shutter was opened, the flash bulb set off, and the shutter was closed. Later the release of the shutter was mechanically synchronized with the discharge of electric current and the Camera could be held in hand. For convenience the flash gun (battery case, flash bulb, and reflector) was fastened to the side of the camera.
Eastman's most important contribution, however, was t the design of the camera, but providing a photofin-u'ng service for his customers. The Camera was loaded len sold; its $25 cost included processing. A contact int from each good negative was made and neatly Dunted on a gilt-edged chocolate-brown card. All the xkk owner had to do was point the Camera at the sub-:t, release the shutter by pressing a button, wind on film r the next exposure, and recock the shutter by pulling string that wound up its clockwork mechanism.
The technical problems will be minimized if you provide yourself with the proper equipment. The widest market for flower pictures is for 35mm Camera shutter color slides, but that doesn't mean that just any 35mm Camera shutter Camera is the suitable tool for. |
