AstroMedia Camera Obscura
£27.95 VAT inc
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 pictures.
