RE: First-ever telephoto lens, 1900.

in #history7 years ago

Also the first one was earlier than 1900:

Histories of photography usually credit Thomas Rudolphus Dallmeyer with the invention of the photographic telephoto lens in 1891, though it was independently invented by others about the same time; some credit his father John Henry Dallmeyer in 1860.[8]
