Panoramic Photography
Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with horizontally elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as ''wide format photography''. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio, like the familiar letterbox format in wide-screen video. While there is no formal division between " wide-angle" and " panoramic" photography, "wide-angle" normally refers to a type of lens, but using this lens type does not necessarily make an image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide-angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75° – may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The resulting images ...

Widelux
The Widelux is a fully mechanical swing-lens panoramic camera first developed in Japan in 1958, by Panon Camera Shoko. There are both 35mm and medium-format models. Instead of a shutter, the camera has a slit that exposes the film as the lens pivots on a horizontal arc. This pivot allows for some distortion effects not available with traditional cameras. The last Widelux model F8 ended production in 2000. Models Widelux F series 35mm * Widelux FI (1959) with Vistar f/2.8 26mm * Widelux FV (1959) with Panon f/2.8 26mm * Widelux FVI (~1964) * Widelux F6 (~1970) * Widelux F6B (~1970s) * Widelux F7 (1979–1988) * Widelux F8 (1988–2000) Medium Format model 1500 The medium format Widelux model 1500 make 50x122 mm frames on 120 film, and cover a 150-degree horizontal angle across the long side. It was described as newly introduced in 1988 and cost "about US$4,500" at the time. Differences There are important differences between the F and 1500 series cameras. The 35mm c ...

Horizon (camera)
The Horizon (russian: Горизонт) is a mechanical swing-lens panoramic camera. It is manufactured by Krasnogorsky Mechanicheskiy Zavod (KMZ) in Krasnogorsk, Russia, better-known for their range of Zenit cameras. The main characteristic of this camera is its rotating lens that takes in a 120° panorama as the shutter button is pressed. The current (2015) models are designated ''Horizon Perfekt'' and ''Horizon Kompakt''. History The history of this camera dates back to the Soviet Union in the year 1948 when KMZ manufactured a very limited series of prototypes called ''FT-1'', a small, boxy panoramic camera for 35 mm film. The first public edition was presented years later on the Brussels World Fair in 1958 under the name ''FT-2''. Off the chronological order, an additional number of cameras labeled ''FT-3'' with prototype characteristics had already been produced in 1952 and 1953. ''FT'' stood for ''Fotoapparat Tokareva'' (''Фотоаппарат Токарева''), m ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Camera
A camera is an Optics, optical instrument that can capture an image. Most cameras can capture 2D images, with some more advanced models being able to capture 3D images. At a basic level, most cameras consist of sealed boxes (the camera body), with a small hole (the aperture) that allows light to pass through in order to capture an image on a light-sensitive surface (usually a Image sensor, digital sensor or photographic film). Cameras have various mechanisms to control how the light falls onto the light-sensitive surface. Lenses focus the light entering the camera, and the aperture can be narrowed or widened. A Shutter (photography), shutter mechanism determines the amount of time the photosensitive surface is exposed to the light. The still image camera is the main instrument in the art of photography. Captured images may be reproduced later as part of the process of photography, digital imaging, or photographic printing. Similar artistic fields in the moving-image camera dom ...

Kamera-Werkstätten
Kamera-Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch was a photographic equipment manufacturer based in Dresden. Kamera-Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch By the beginning of the twentieth century the photographic industry prospered using new manufacturing methods, building smaller, lighter and more reliable equipment, and using better materials like aluminium and steel rather than wood, brass and leather. After World War I, the camera industry in Dresden surely had the most specialized workforce in that field, comprising several respected brands. It was at this time the Kamera-Werkstätten, K.W. was established in Dresden, Germany. Kamera-Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch, K.W. for short, was established in 1919 in Dresden, by Paul Guthe and Benno Thorsch to manufacture cameras and associated products. The first was the ''Patent Etui 6×9'' plate camera previously designed by Guthe. The 3×4 TLR ''Pilot Reflex 3×4'' medium format roll-film camera range began in 1931, which by 1935 evolved into the 6×6 120 ...
