Edward Eves Limited was a camera maker in Leamington Spa, England in the 1950s.[1] The company made one-shot colour-separation cameras, i.e. cameras in which the image-forming light is split into three parts to expose three monochrome plates simultaneously, each filtered through a red, blue or green filter. The three images are then combined in printing, to make a true colour image. Eves made cameras in two sizes:[2]
- Blockmaster Studio de Luxe; 4x5 inch[3]
- Miniature; 2½x3½ inch
The camera bodies are cast in Elektron magnesium alloy.
Notes
- ↑ There was a successful photographer named Edward Eves working in Leamington Spa, known for motor sport photography among other work. It seems likely that the camera-maker was the same person.
