Introduction to 35mm Camera Types & Models

The first camera dates back to 1685 but the technology was not in place at the time to allow it to function properly. Finally, after 150 years the first photograph was taken in 1826 by Joseph Niepce. Since then the camera has truly changed the way we see the world. Photography lets us save moments in time as return to them later in life. Also, from the invention of the camera came the telescope and now we are able to see things miles and even light years away.
