the improved Physiographe monocular camera c1900<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto. \u00a0In a recent post<\/a>, I described an unusual binocular that could be reversed to become a camera.<\/p>\n

By using one side as a camera, and the other as a monocular, this French gadget just a few years later let the casual by-stander ‘see’ it used as a ‘binocular’ while the owner snapped a photo at right angles!<\/p>\n

The full story titled, \u00a0“THE MONOCULAR CAMERA REVISITED”‘ \u00a0by Eaton S. Lothrop, Jr. is carried in issue 34-2 of our journal. Eaton writes in the pr\u00e9cis to his article, “In Bill Belier\u2019s column, \u201cA Treasure From My Collection,\u201d in the November\/December issue of Photographic Canadiana, Ron Anger\u2019s 1924 \u201dArgus\u201d monocular camera was showcased. A brief follow-up, in the March\/April 2001 issue, carried Larry Gubas\u2019 mention of the 1912 Nettel \u201cSpectax\u201d and also mentioned the Zeiss Ikon \u201cErgo\u201d camera. The article and follow-up, however, only scratched the surface of the story of these interesting little monocular cameras.”<\/p>\n
