NAB 2017: Walk Down Memory Lane


Wth NAB being a show all about the new, it was nice to see the old being on display as well. The Museum of Broadcast Technology has a small corner in the hallway outside the North Hall, where they are showcasing some very old RCA video cameras.


These RCA cameras would have been State of the Art in their day. I do think cameras have become better looking - that drab, industrial, almost Soviet Bloc styling doesn't age well.


How's that for a zoom lens? A Zoomar 58mm to 175mm f/2.8, with the serial number 039. Made in Glen Cove, NY.
