This collection of early photographic cameras, dating back to circa 1905, showcases the evolution of portable and studio equipment used during the formative years of photography. 1. Studio Portrait Camera (Fallowfield): This large, impressive piece of equipment is a Fallowfield studio portrait camera. Its bulky design and tripod mounting indicate its use for taking formal portraits in a controlled studio setting. 2. Tripod Camera (Fallowfield): The Fallowfield tripod camera, shown here with its wooden case, was used to stabilize the studio portrait camera and ensure sharp, clear images. 3. Folding Hand Camera (Lizar): The compact and portable Lizar folding hand camera is a testament to the advancements in photographic technology. Its foldable design made it easy to carry and use on the go. 4. Folding Hand Camera (for Roll Films - The Ensign by Houghton-Butcher): This Ensign hand camera by Houghton-Butcher is another example of portable photography equipment. Its ability to use roll films allowed for more versatility and convenience. 5. Hand Camera: Box Pattern (Frena): The Frena hand camera with its unique box pattern design demonstrates the artistic flair and craftsmanship that went into creating early photographic equipment. 6. Dallmeyer Stigmatic Portrait Lens: This Dallmeyer stigmatic portrait lens was used to capture high-quality, detailed images. Its large aperture allowed for a shallow depth of field, creating a beautiful bokeh effect. 7. Ross Wide-angle lens: The Ross wide-angle lens expanded the photographic possibilities, allowing photographers to capture more of the scene in a single frame. 8. Ross Zeiss Anastigmat Lens: The Ross Zeiss Anastigmat lens was renowned for its ability to produce images with minimal distortion and excellent sharpness, making it a favorite among early photographers.
