Introduction to miniature photography

Miniature photography (English: subminiature photography) is a technology of taking photos with a miniature camera. Microfilm technology is determined by the size of the film negative. Photography with a negative less than 24 mm× 36 mm and a diameter greater than 2 mm is called microphotography, and cameras with a negative less than 2 mm are called microphotographs. Its photography method is completely different from microphotography, and the other method is called microphotography. Miniature cameras are called "spy cameras", and miniature photography is of course one of the many ways for agents all over the world to collect information. Today, microphotography is easy to use in difficult places and occasions because it does not need batteries or has a long battery life, and it is still a favorite intelligence gathering method for agents. However, microfilm is not a special agent's patent. Many photographers also like miniature photography, because it has special advantages, including being very light and being able to carry it around frequently. When taking photos or developing negatives, the requirements are particularly strict and challenging, which can cultivate meticulous habits and is helpful for 35 mm photography, medium camera photography or large camera photography. Germany, the United States, Canada, Japan and other countries have photography associations specializing in miniature photography, and many amateur photographers also participate. In addition, more collectors collect all kinds of miniature cameras, including their exquisite gold-plated miniature cameras with beautiful jewels.
