A Little History & Camera LensesOnce upon a time

These cool Chinese people figured something outCamera Obscura

The Chinese were the first people that we know of to write about the basic idea of the pinhole camera or "camera obscura" (Latin words meaning "dark room"). About 2,500 years ago (5th Century B.C.) they wrote about how an image was formed upside down on a wall from a pinhole on the opposite wall. 3And then a few people played around with the scientific process and created FILM photography

But then we decided that film wasnt cool enough

And neither was earthTherefore, the same year that man walked on the moon, we also invented the digital camera. GO US! Ps, this was in 1969.
