点评:The museum is on the estate of George Eastman, the pioneer of popular photography and motion picture film. It is the world’s oldest photography museum and one of the oldest film archives. The museum holds unparalleled collections—encompassing several million objects—in the fields of photography, cinema, and photographic and cinematographic technology, and photographically illustrated books. The institution is also a longtime leader in film preservation and photographic conservation.
In 1877 Eastman bought a photographic outfit. The weight, awkwardness, and cost of the equipment required to take and develop photographs soon led Eastman to seek improvements. He spent three years in his mother’s kitchen experimenting with gelatin emulsions, and by 1880, he had invented and patented a dry-plate coating machine. He started the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company in 1884 and the Eastman Kodak Company in 1892). With a series of innovations, the company created easy-to-use cameras that made photography widely accessible, established the practice of professional photofinishing, and developed a flexible film that was a critical contribution to the launch of the motion picture industry.
Fascinating information, photographs and cameras.
Definitely worth the stop.

1877 年,伊士曼购买了一套摄影设备。拍摄和冲洗照片所需设备的重量、笨重和成本很快促使伊士曼寻求改进。他在母亲的厨房里花了三年时间试验明胶乳剂,到 1880 年,他发明并获得了干版涂布机的专利。他于 1884 年创办了伊士曼干版和胶片公司,并于 1892 年创办了伊士曼柯达公司。通过一系列创新,该公司创造了易于使用的相机,使摄影变得广泛普及,建立了专业照片冲印实践,并开发了一种柔性胶片,为电影业的启动做出了重要贡献。
令人着迷的信息、照片和相机。
绝对值得一看。
