Image description

An operator polishes a lens on large rotary disc, Taylor-Hobson, 1953. Using a huge spherical polishing disc, a Taylor Hobson worker finishes a camera lens. Innovation and consistent technical quality lead to Taylor-Hobson becoming one of the world's most popular lens producers. During the 1930s and 1940s nearly 80% of all Hollywood films had been shot with a Taylor-Hobson lens. Their lenses were also favourites of the 16mm and home movie markets. Photograph by Walter Nurnberg (1907-1991), who transformed industrial photography after WWII by using film studio lighting techniques. Photographie ©SSPL/NMeM/Walter Nurnberg
