A 35mm camera, based on the Canonet G-III QL17 rangefinder, simulated in Python.

Overview

c is for Camera

A 35mm camera, based on the Canonet G-III QL17 rangefinder, simulated in Python.

The purpose of this project is to explore and understand the logic in the mechanisms of a camera by using object-oriented programming to represent real-world objects. It's also a way to appreciate the intricate mechanical logic embodied in a device like a camera.

'Canonet G-III QL17'

It aims towards completeness in its modelling of the real world. For example, if you open the back of the camera in daylight with a partially exposed film, it will ruin the film.

See the c is for Camera documentation.

A quick tour

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/evildmp/C-is-for-Camera.git

or:

git clone [email protected]:evildmp/C-is-for-Camera.git

In the C-is-for-Camera directory, start a Python 3 shell.

>>> from camera import Camera
>>> c = Camera()

See the camera's state:

>>> c.state()

Advance the film:

>>> c.film_advance_mechanism.advance()
On frame 0 (of 24)
Advancing film
On frame 1 (of 24)
Cocking shutter
Cocked

Release the shutter:

>>> c.shutter.trip()
Shutter openening for 1/128 seconds
Shutter closes
Shutter uncocked
'Tripped'

It's not possible to advance the mechanism twice without releasing the shutter:

>>> c.film_advance_mechanism.advance()
On frame 1 (of 24)
Advancing film
On frame 2 (of 24)
Cocking shutter
Cocked
>>> c.film_advance_mechanism.advance()

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    raise self.AlreadyAdvanced
camera.AlreadyAdvanced

If you open the back in daylight it ruins the film:

>>> c.back.open()
Opening back
Resetting frame counter to 0
'Film is ruined'

Close the back and rewind the film:

>>> c.back.close()
Closing back
>>> c.film_rewind_mechanism.rewind()
