Vista en detall d'un obturador Bausch & Lomb Automat, del 1906. Es tract d'un obturador central del tipus pneumatic, perque tant el disparador com les velocitats lentes estan regulades per cilindres d'aire (els dos elements verticals a banda i banda de la lent). Posteriorment els obturadors es regularan per rellotgeria, i no per aire, guanyant en eficiencia tot allò que perdran en encant steam-punk. Finalment dir que, com el seu nom indica és un obturador automatic o "everset", en el que no cal "carregar" el mecanisme per a disparar-lo. Això en facilita l'ús però en limita la velocitat màxima.
La Kodak No.3 Folding Pocket és una càmera de rodet de gran format produida per Eastman Kodak entre 1900 i 1915. Emprava el format 118 i fou molt popular, amb gran varietat de sub-models. Aquesta en concret és un model F, equipada amb obturador Bausch & Lomb Automat i objectiu Goerz Doppel-Anastigmat Syntor f.6,8 de 120mm. Data del 1910, pel nº de serie 626xx-R.
Un detall interessant d'aquest model en concret, si no vaig errat, es que es tracta de l'única camara que apareix a bord del Titanic durant el seu únic i fatidic viatge. Es tracta de la fotografia de la familia Odell. El jove Jack Odell porta a les mans el que estic gairebé segur és una No.3 Folding Pocket (la forma corbada a la part superior del aparell el delata). Que aquesta fotografia sobrevivis al enfonsament del Titanic (i tota la familia Odell) s'explica pel fet que embarcaren a Southampton, però desembarcaren a Queenstown (actualment Cobh), Irlanda. Un darrer detall al respecte, va. El fet que porti una lent Goerz indica que aquesta Kodak fou feta als Estats Units, però venguda al Regne Unit. I sabeu d'on em va venir? de Southampton, port de sortida del Titanic!
=============================================
This gorgeous early XX Century leaf shutter is of the pneumatic type, with double cylinders to release the shutter and to control the slow speeds. Latter shutters had a clock mechanism for the slow speeds, making them much more accurate but also much more boring. This one is an automatic or everset shutter, because you don't need to cock it (like a gun) before release.
This is the Kodak No.3 Folding Pocket camera, made in Rochester NY from 1900 to 1915 with quite a lot of models. It was a very popular roll film camera, using the 118 format. This one is a model F, made in 1910 (serial nº 626xx-R). It has a Bausch & Lomb Automat leaf shutter and a Goerz Doppel-Anastigmat Syntor lens, f6.8 120mm. Only cameras selled in the UK mounted a Syntor lens.
I've found a quite interesting link between this camera and the Titanic. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this is the only camera shown in a picture onboard the Titanic during it's only and dramatic voyage. It appears on the hands of a boy called Jack Odell, and the top-side curve it's the key to identify this camera. Why this picture (and even the Odell family) survived the Titanic? Because they boarded the ship in Southampton, BUT disembaked in Queenstown (now Cobh), Ireland. And even a more closed link. I bought this camera in eBay, to someone in Southampton. Just an "evil" coincidence, I presume...

Comme la plupart des ferrotypes Bernitt, celui-ci est peu contrasté et très sombre. J'ai dû retravailler un peu l'image pour qu'on y voie quelque chose.
