About 35mm Cameras

The name 35mm camera is actually a little misleading. Technically, this kind of camera should be called an SLR camera, or single lens reflex camera, which refers to the way in which the photo is taken. With an SLR camera, the lens you look through to see the image you want to take is the same lens through which the picture is taken, unlike other earlier cameras in which the viewfinder lens was separate from the photo taking lens, often throwing off the photo slightly. SLR cameras revolutionized the way people took photos because they minimized the amount of focusing that had to be done. With an SLR camera, you could just point and shoot. The reason these cameras became more commonly known as 35mm cameras is because they almost always used 35mm film.

Some of the more popular SLR 35mm cameras on the market today are the 35mm Alpha camera, the Olympus 35mm camera, the Nikon 35mm camera, the Rollei 35mm camera, the Vivitar 35mm camera, and the Konica Minolta 35mm camera – Konica Minolta made the first 35mm camera year ago.
