A folding camera is a camera type. Folding cameras fold into a compact and rugged package for storage. The lens and shutter are attached to a lens-board which is connected to the body of the camera by a light-tight folding bellows.
When the camera is fully unfolded it provides the correct focus distance from the film. The key advantage of folding cameras is their excellent physical-size to film-size ratio when the camera is folded for storage.
The use of folding cameras declined lately with advances in lens technology allowing superior enlargement, high quality images on smaller negatives, and shorter distances between the lens and the film.
35mm film made small-sized cameras practical without using bellows. Lens technology allowed cameras to use shorter focal distances, and the twin lens reflex cameras became popular.
However, some 35mm cameras continued to be built as folding cameras, e.g., the original Kodak Retina and the Ensign Midget model twenty two camera (image at lower right). Medium format folders were produced in USSR until the mid ninety.
The Global Folding camera Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
