Gallery of Sawn in Half Cameras

This is pretty cool:

Quote:Yesterday I took a trip to the Deutshes Technikmuseum Berlin, an oddity of a place containing all manner of weird and wonderful German technology, from a yard full of locomotives to an exhibition on cutlery and plates from railway dining cars. Unlike many science museums, the DTB doesn't have a whole lot of interactive exhibits -- just a few push buttons here and there -- but that doesn't mean it wasn't full of screaming kids on a Sunday.

What it does have, though, is an amazing collection of historical German camera gear. The exhibit is full of retro gadgets, as you'll see below, but the most interesting to me were the bisected lenses and cameras, the insides of which show the precision of a CAD drawing. Read on to see sawn-off gadgets, the origin of digital cameras and a secret doorway just for horses.

Interesting stuff. It's amazing how much detail and engineering goes into a lens - maybe there's an actual reason why Leica lenses cost so much. Big Grin
