…The first bright lens was a portrait lens with four elements in three groups (F3.7) designed by the Vienna mathematician Josef Max Petzval (1807-91). For this new lens, the Vienna optical dealer Voigtländer made an all-metal camera with a stand, which for the first time shortened the exposure time to one or two minutes even in the shade. In 1851, British photographer Frederick Scott Archer (1813-57) invented wet plate photography, and cameras with bellows for easy portability became common. From this time on, a distinction was made between field cameras for use outdoors and studio cameras for indoor use only. …

From [Wet Plate Photography]

...To fix a photographic image, a potassium cyanide solution is used as a fixative because silver iodide dissolves well in potassium cyanide. Wet plate photography was introduced in 1851 by British photographer Frederick Scott Archer (1813-57). Wet plate photography was more sensitive than the daguerreotype photography used at the time and the silver iodide-sensitive paper invented by WHF Talbot, and produced clearer photographs. At the time, negative images taken with wet plates were placed directly on velvet and viewed as positive images using reflected light, because the technology of printing negatives to produce positives had not yet become widespread.

【湿板写真】より

…写真像を定着するにはヨウ化銀がシアン化カリウム水溶液によく溶解することから,シアン化カリウム水溶液を定着液として用いる。湿板写真は1851年,イギリスのアーチャーFrederick Scott Archer(1813‐57)が発表した方法で,湿板は,当時使われていた銀板写真や,W.H.F.タルボットの発明したヨウ化銀感光紙に比べて感度が高く,得られる写真が鮮明であった。当時は湿板で撮影した写真のネガ像をそのままビロードの上に置いて反射光線でポジ像として観察したが,これはネガを焼き付けてポジを作る技術がまだ普及していなかったためである。…
