From the Archives: Old Los Angeles Times cameras
At the top, on a wooden tripod, is a 70 millimeter high-speed motorized Hulcher camera used at sporting events. At the middle center is a circa 1940 Speed Graphic camera. To its right is a 1917 Graflex camera.
The three cameras on the bottom, from left, are a 1940s-era Fairchild K-10 aerial camera that used 5x7-inch roll film; a 1980s-era Nikon F3 35 millimeter camera; and a 1950s-era Rolleiflex 120 millimeter film camera.
This photo by staff photographer Randy McBride appeared in the 1987 Los Angeles Times book “Images of Our Times: Sixty Years of Photography from the Los Angeles Times.”
In the upper left of the photo is an early 300 millimeter lens but the brand was not identified.
