About this product
Model: AstroMedia.419.COB
Part Number: 419.COB
All our modern cameras have one common ancestor - The Camera Obscura.
The light of the outside world falls through a pinhole onto the opposite wall of a room and produces an upside-down picture.
In the 16th century, the camera obscura was greatly improved by an objective lens, which produced much brighter images.
Around 1750, many painters, like the Venetian Canaletto, used it to make sketches for their paintings.
Then, in 1836, Nicéphore Nièpce projected the image on a light-sensitive plate, and the photographic camera was born.
This beautiful, sturdy Camera Obscura has a powerful lens (60mm diameter, 275mm focal length) and a mirror for an upright picture, like Canaletto used.
The image is projected onto a 16x16cm screen with transparent paper, which can be viewed or copied by pencil.
The pre-punched kit with gold printing includes a lens, mirror, clear screen and transparent paper.
Size: 280mm x 190mm x 190mm
