Some interesting Cameras.

June 8th, 2008

I have had these photos taking up several tabs in my browser for the past couple of months, sat waiting for me to get round to writing a small blurb about them here at photogabble. The history behind how I found them is a little fuzzy however I seem to remember stumbling across Chris Woebken’s work through a tumblr with an interesting design and following links from there to his personal website where I discovered these photos of intriguing cameras taken by him.

3D Camera (Stereo – Mikroma)

Micro Camera

Weird Camera

Anfibian Brev. Gagy

They all appear to be real cameras, and I have googled a couple of them where the details are visible in their pictures. The above Anfibian Brev Gagy appears to be a 35mm underwater camera for use on diving excursions  while I couldn’t find out much other than that about it which itself is a little disappointing. I did however find a wealth of information on the Stereo – Mikroma, infact several ebay auctions and a whole page of technical details including its history in Soviet Russia and the various different variations. Both lenses are apparently 25mm with a aperture range of f3.5 to f22, introduced in the 1960s it was mainly used by the Czechoslovak State Secret Service to produce stereo images.
