Invented independently by the Germans Miethe and Gaedicke, the flash using magnesium powder combined with a powerful oxidizer was an immediate success in artificial lighting in photography. Its use lasted until the 1920s and 30s.
Formulário Fotográfico | Reinhard Viebig A very old book, but still a practical companion for the laboratory. I think it makes sense now more than ever, because these days it’s very expensive to buy developers, fixers and other formulas used in black and white darkroom.

Plastic cameras, “dressed” in a paper cover, already loaded with film, equipped with a flash and for one-off use.
The American company, one of the largest in the 3D equipment sector, has produced this classic, simple and always surprising stereocard display for almost 50 years.
All made of plastic, including the lens, it was a cheap camera aimed at the mass market of Chinese workers, but ended up becoming fashionable among Western hipsters.
Losing sales to cameras with similar specifications but smaller and simpler construction, Nikon reacted by launching its FM. Fully mechanical, without the modularity of the F2, but at a more affordable price. A typical example of less is more, because it’s an excellent camera.
