2. Contax camera- a camera brand noted for its technical innovation and wide range of Zeiss lenses, known for their high optical quality. Its final incarnation was a line of 35 mm, medium format, and digital cameras engineered and manufactured by Kyocera, and featuring modern Zeiss optics
3. Polaroid Spectra-introduced in 1986. It was an all-new line of cameras, and had a corresponding new film. Spectra cameras are thought to take higher-quality pictures than a conventional 600 Polaroid camera, due to the camera's higher build quality and a proportionally larger print area.

2. Wide- Angle Lens-wide-angle lenses differ from ultra wide angle lenses in that the latter have a focal length shorter than the short side of the film or sensor, which means that in 35 mm, a wide-angle lens has a focal length between 35 and 24 mm, while an ultra wide-angle lens has a focal length shorter than 24 mm.
3. Calypso underwater camera- self-contained amphibious underwater Calypso 35mm film camera was conceived by the marine explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau
4. Through-the-lens metering-is a photographic term describing a feature of cameras capable of measuring light levels in a scene through their taking lenses, as opposed to a separate metering window.
