Camera
configuration generally
falls into three
recognizable sections,
the lens, body and
magazine. The lens
mates to the camera
body which contains
the mechanism (or
movement). The magazine
(which manages the
supply of film)
is also mated to
the camera body.
The body can be
viewed as the heart
of the system. It's
what most of the
accessories mate
to. The magazine
has two spindles
inside that rotate
both the supply
reel (the roll of
raw stock) and the
take-up reel which
neatly rolls up
exposed stock and
keeps it from wadding
into a hairball
inside the camera
body.
