Video Description

Introduced in the 1890s, Magazine or “Detective” Cameras bridged the gap between early single-shot plate cameras and film cameras, allowing multiple shots to be taken in quick succession using “dry” photographic plates. Despite being a transitionary technology, they remained popular until the 1920s. 0:00 Introduction 1:06 Early Photography Processes 2:48 Magazine Cameras 3:29 Lens Controls 5:40 Magazine and Plate Holders 8:09 Adlake Cameras 9:04 Other Manufacturers 9:55 Butcher & Sons 10:29 Midg Cameras 13:49 Mystery “Lafitte” Camera 14:24 Cottingley Fairies Hoax 15:18 Outro SOURCES https://www.treloars.com/pages/books/102348/trade-catalogue/butchers-british-carbine-cameo-klimax-pressman-cameras-and-other-photographic-apparatus-1923 http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Butcher https://www.pacificrimcamera.com/rl/02453/02453.pdf https://www.kinocameras.com/apparatus/butcher https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/people/cp108219/w-butcher-and-sons https://www.pacificrimcamera.com/rl/02436/02436.pdf http://www.historiccamera.com/cgi-bin/librarium2/pm.cgi?action=app_display&app=datasheet&app_id=1275 http://www.historiccamera.com/cgi-bin/librarium2/pm.cgi?action=app_display&app=datasheet&app_id=945 https://opobs.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/falling-plate-camera/ https://jabcam.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/topic-a-falling-plate-camera/ https://camerapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Magazine_camera http://licm.org.uk/livingImage/Ensign_Midg.html http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Midg https://petapixel.com/2024/07/29/camera-that-allegedly-took-photos-of-fairies-analyzed-by-ct-scanner/ http://www.historiccamera.com/cgi-bin/librarium2/pm.cgi?action=app_display&app=datasheet&app_id=1115 https://apenasimagens.com/en/klito-houghton-3/ http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Plate_sizes http://photo-analogue.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-midg-falling-plate-camera.html
