135 (ISO 1007) is a film format for still photography. Introduced in its modern form in 1934 it quickly grew in popularity, surpassing 120 film by the late 1960s to become the most popular photographic film format. Despite competition from formats such as 110 and APS, it remains so today. The film itself has the same dimensions (35 mm wide) and perforations (16 per 72 mm) as 35 mm movie film but is enclosed in a light-tight cassette to allow cameras to be loaded in daylight. The standard image format is 24 × 36 mm. Other image ...

At Fotokina in 1986, Nikon revealed a prototype analog electronic still SLR camera, the Nikon SVC, a precursor to the digital SLR (Pierre J., "Nikon SLR-type digital Cameras", [1]). The prototype design lead to the Nikon N8008 two years later which is capable of 0.3 megapixel (ibid [2]). In 1991, Kodak released the first comercially available digital SLR, the Kodak DCS-100. It consisted of a modified Nikon F3 SLR body, modified drive unit, and an external storage unit connected via cable. The camera was capable of producing 1.3 megapi ...

There are two primary types of photographic film: Print film, when developed, turns into a negative with the colors (or black and white values, in black and white film) inverted. This type of film must be "printed" — either projected through a lens or placed in contact — to photographic paper in order to be viewed as intended. Print films are available in both black & white and color. Color reversal film after development is called a transparency and can be viewed directly ...

The Canon EOS 20D features a Mode Dial on the top which lets you select the shooting mode for each situation. It is divided into two sections: Creative Zone and Basic Zone. Obviously the Creative zone is dedicated to a more profesional shooting yet it gives the user more advanced options to change such as the RAW shooting function and manual exposure, aperture and ISO sensitivity which can only be set under the Creati ...

After the discovery of the electron and radioactivity, at the start of the twentieth century the atom was no longer thought to be indivisible. In 1905 Albert Einstein showed in his theory of Special Relativity that a small amount of mass could be converted into a large amount of energy, though the practical significance of his E=mc2 equation was not fully appreciated for many years. In 1911 Ernest Rutherford demonstrated that the majority of an atom's mass was in a small nucleus made up of protons that was surrounded by a c ...

As of 2005, Canon has released no fewer than 40 EOS SLR camera models, starting with the introduction of the EOS 650 in 1987. The Canon EOS series ushered in the digital age with the EOS DCS 3 in 1995, although it was a joint collaborative effort with Kodak. The first digital EOS SLR camera wholly designed and manufactured by Canon is the EOS D30, released in 2000. Canon has also released two EOS cameras designed to use the APS fil ...

Caulfield Grammar School was founded on April 25, 1881 by Joseph Henry Davies and began with just 9 pupils. Davies' aim for Caulfield was "that the School should be a thoroughly Christian one" that looked to render "Christian service". A year after it had opened, enrollment increased to 32 boys. Caulfield was built on a property near Sir Frederick Sargood's Rippon Lea Estate. The current site of the school was purchased in 1909 in what is now St Kilda East. The school's boarding house opened in 1912. By 1931, the school's 50th anniversary, t ...

The only cameras that use the EF-S mount are: the Canon EOS 300D, 350D, 20D, and 20Da digital SLRs. These cameras can all use both EF and EF-S lenses. EF-S lenses, however, can not be used on EF mount cameras and Canon designers have taken steps to ensure it is physically impossible to mount EF-S lenses in this way. This is because the increased proximity of the lens to the sensor means that on full-frame sensor or 35mm film EF cameras the lens itself would obstruct the mirror's swin ...

Please add your own entries, in this page or in the appropriate sub-page. Use a quasi-dictionary order, with lowercase treated the same as uppercase and ignoring non-alphanumeric characters (hyphens and such). This means that only alphanumeric characters have any significance in determining order, and that lowercase letters occupy the same ordering position as uppercase (in tie-breaker cases, list lower case first). For example: Ka appears before KA. (This differs from a strict ASCII ordering) (Main list of ...

On 35mm film canisters there are two rows of six rectangular areas, the two left-most areas (with the spool post on the left) are both common-ground and are thus always bare metal. The remaining 5 bits in the top row represent 32 possible film speeds. But there are only 24 speeds representing the 1/3 "stops" from 25 ISO to 5000 ISO. In the second row, the first 3 bits represent 8 possible film lengths, although in practice only 12, 20, 24 and 36 exposures are encoded. The remaining 2 bits of the second row give 4 ranges of film tolerance, or latitude, in ±f-stops.See also:

There have been several plans for a subway network to be set up but they were given up for both geological and financial reasons. A tramway system was started in the fall of 2000 and put into service in december 2003, connecting Bordeaux with the surrounding communities. It uses the APS technology, a brand new and exclusive cableless technology developed by French company Alstom and designed to preserve the aesthetic environment the tramway is surrounded by (although very controversial for its considerable cost of installation and maintenanc ...

The measurements of the interactions of fast neutrons with the materials in a bomb were essential because the number of neutrons produced in the fission of uranium and plutonium must be known, and because the substance surrounding the nuclear material must have the ability to reflect, or scatter, neutrons back into the chain reaction before it is blown apart in order to increase the energy produced. Therefore, the neutron scattering properties o ...

In the summer of 1942, Col. Leslie Groves was deputy to the chief of construction for the Army Corps of Engineers and had overseen construction of the Pentagon, the world's largest office building. Hoping for an overseas command, Groves vigorously objected when Somervell appointed him to take charge of the weapons project. His objections were overruled and Groves resigned himself to leading a project he thought had little chance of succeeding. Groves appointed Oppenheimer as the project's scientific director, to the surprise of many. (Oppenh ...

The Hiroshima bomb, Little Boy, was made from uranium-235, a rare isotope of uranium that has to be physically separated from more prevalent uranium-238 isotope, which is not suitable for use in an explosive device. However U-235 is only 0.7% of raw uranium and chemically identical to the 99.3% of U-238, so various physical methods were considered for separation. One method of separating uranium 235 from raw uranium ore was devised by Franz Simon and Nicholas Kurti, two more Jewish emigrés, at Oxford University. Their method using ga ...
