History Of Hasselblad Camera

Hasselblad name has been associated with cameras almost since the early days of photography itself. First only selling, and producing equipment that is taken through vision. Our tradition of design and the camera with photographers in mind, for superior image quality, reliability and flexibility to go back more than half a century years old. And the story behind our camera almost as interesting as the camera itself.


More than a half century ago, in 1841, the port city of Gothenburg in western Sweden, Hasselblad's family founded the first trading company, FW Hasselblad & Co Location, Gothenburg, with its proximity to continental Europe and the historic trade relations with the United Kingdom, Netherlands, denmark, Germany, and several other countries, is ideal for international import-export company. FW Hasselblad & Co. quickly became one of Sweden's most prosperous trading house. They also began to import and supply of new products being developed for the field of photography.
When Arvid Viktor Hasselblad, the founder of the child and an avid amateur photographer, set up a photography department at the company's reported comment, "I certainly do not think that we'll get a lot of money in this, but at least it will allow us to take a picture for free. "


Arvid Viktor quickly proved wrong about the potential profitability, and the photography department of the main part of the FW Hasselblad & Co. Little did he know where the first tentative steps into the camera and import the movie will eventually lead.

While on honeymoon in England, Arvid Viktor met George Eastman, who will soon find Kodak Company and made photography accessible to the average consumer. The two men formed a business partnership, which is based on a simple handshake, which will last for almost 80 years. In 1888 Hasselblad from Eastman imported products as the sole distributor of Sweden. The increasing popularity of photography and the accompanying technical advances in the field led to increasing demand for photography products, a demand that the company Hasselblad more than happy to meet. Corporate photography division grew so rapidly that in 1908 the family formed a separate company to deal with increased business. This company, Hasselblad's Fotografiska AB, Sweden is the exclusive distributor for what is now EastmanKodak products.


Develop laboratory and nation-wide network of established retail outlets. Collaboration, founded on trust and respect between the two men, one of which proved very successful.

Karl Erik Hasselblad, grandson of the founder of the company, realized how many families have benefited from the photography - and act accordingly. Karl Erik's son Victor, born in 1906, grew to become the natural heir to the family business. A shy and sensitive child with two sisters and a brother, Victor enjoys country walks and developed an interest in watching the birds that will stay with him all his life. Victor grew into precocious teenager with a passion for photography, an interest he inherited from his grandfather, and a determination to improve the existing equipment.

During this period, he kept meticulous records of its findings and the notebook was the period of suggestions for improvement of the camera. In what seems like a curious move to us now, Karl Erik released his son from school at the age of 18 years, cut the study short boy and sent him to Dresden, Germany to learn the camera and optics manufacturing industries from the bottom up.


This may grace the young Victor. The young man was often up early, headed to the countryside to watch the birds before school. Often, he was caught sleeping through class, because the fatigue themselves early on. Alternative forms of education may be just the ticket.

History Of Photography

Photography (from English: photography, meaning "light drawing") is the process of paint / write by using the media light. In general terms, photography is a process or method for producing an image or photograph of an object by recording the reflected light of these objects on light sensitive media. The most popular tool to capture this light is the camera. Without light, there is no picture that can be made.

Principle photography is memokuskan refraction of light with the help of a medium that can burn the light catcher. Medium that had been burned to the size of the right light luminitas be identical with menghailkan shadows into the light refracting medium (hereinafter referred to as the lens).

To produce the proper intensity of light to produce images, use the help of lightmeter gauge. After getting the right lighting measures, a photographer can adjust the light intensity by changing the combination of ISO / ASA (ISO Speed), diaphragm (Aperture), and shutter speed (speed). The combination of ISO, The diaphragm & Speed called the exposure (exposure).

In the era of digital photography where the film is not used, then the film speed
used previously developed a Digital ISO.

Expensive camera (antique)

Expensive camera

Price € 336,000 ($ 551,151) for an old analog camera. Derived from the 1923 British Empire and the table has a very high sale value of history.

Dagguerreotype world's oldest camera, which in April submitted for auction, has found a new owner. An anonymous bidder has won an auction that began on May 26 and then with a bid of € 588,613 (or about 7 billion rupiah).

It is only half the original estimate (1 million euros), but the bid price was enough to make Dagguerreotype as one of the world's most expensive camera, or even the most expensive.

Dagguerreotype cameras were considered a myth. There is no clear evidence of its existence except for some old pictures and sketches. In April, the myth was proved right when an American scholar to submit Dagguerreotype auctioned.

Father of the scholars, Wolfgang Haase, reportedly found the camera is stored in the heavens - the sky house, without the knowledge of how she could be there.

American scholars might not care where the camera origin. One - the only thing that matters is he's getting richer, richer € 588,613 to be more precise.

Lensa kamera

Prime lens or fixed focal length
Prime lens is a lens that only has one focal range that can not zoom. Famous prime lens for portraits, sports activities and others. Several prime lenses are often known and frequently used the 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, and 300mm.

Wide Angle Zoom
Wide Angle zoom lens is a popular lens for landscape or architectural photography because of the ability of this lens to capture a broad field with a dynamic perspective. Example: Sigma 10-20mm, Canon EF-S 10-22mm, Tokina 12-24mm, and so on.



Telephoto zoom
This telephoto lens can make objects far away seem closer. Very popular with wildlife photographers, sport, fotojurnalistik and many more.
