VITAL STATISTICS

JOHANN CHRISTOPH VOIGTLÄNDER • You know the brand name and you probably know some of the history behind it, but what about the people who made it happen? In this series we’re looking at the personalities who, through often courageous decisions, got us to where we are in photography today, In this profile, three generations of the Voigtländer family built a company that became one of Germany’s leading makers of cameras and lenses. Its origins date all the way back to the mid-19th century.

CANON F-1 AND NEW F-1 • These are the cameras that, in one way or another, had a significant influence on photographers and photography. Canon was late to the pro 35mm SLR party, but it soon made up for lost time and F-1 models put the brand on top in this sector, establishing a legacy which carried through the following decades to today.

USING APERTURES AND SHUTTER SPEEDS FOR CREATIVE EFFECTS • Every few years we go back to… Back To Basics. Understanding the fundamental principles behind how your camera works is the key to achieving the results that you really want.
