dec 1, 1839 - Talbot's "Mousetrap"
Description:
the design of a new lens and have it properly made. In 1841 the first camera fitted with this lens was introduced by Voigtländer and Sons, a maker of telescopes and other optical equipment. The camera looked more like a telescope but it was the lens that mattered. The Petzval lens gathered 16 times more light than other lenses and became the standard for the next 60 years. However Petzval was only honoured after his death as one of the founders of photography.
