When Was Camera Film First Invented And Why?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    In 1876 Hurter and Driffled started investigating light sensitivity of certain compounds and would probably be the "first". However, the first flexible film was created by Eastman Kodak in 1885 but the first plastic film was created in 1889. The reason is that before film was invented the image was put onto a silver "plate" which were expensive and awkward/heavy by comparison to film.
