Medium format has traditionally referred to a film format in still photography and the related cameras and equipment that use film.

Generally, the term applies to film and digital cameras that record images on media larger than 24 by 36 mm (full-frame) (used in 35 mm photography), but smaller than 4 by 5 inches (which is considered to be large-format photography).

Victor Hasselblad AB is a Swedish manufacturer of medium-format cameras, photographic equipment and image scanners based in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The company is best known for the classic medium-format cameras it produced since World War II.

A digital camera or digicam is a camera that produces digital images that can be stored in a computer, displayed on a screen and printed.

Most cameras sold today are digital, and digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging from PDAs and mobile phones (called camera phones) to vehicles.

A camera is an optical instrument for recording or capturing images, which may be stored locally, transmitted to another location, or both.

The images may be individual still photographs or sequences of images constituting videos or movies.

The camera is a remote sensing device as it senses subjects without physical contact.

The word camera comes from camera obscura, which means "dark chamber" and is the Latin name of the original device for projecting an image of external reality onto a flat surface.

The modern photographic camera evolved from the camera obscura.

The functioning of the camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye.

A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.

A simple lens consists of a single piece of transparent material, while a consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually arranged along a common axis.

Lenses are made from materials such as glass or plastic, and are ground and polished or moulded to a desired shape.

A lens can focus light to form an image, unlike a prism, which refracts light without focusing.

Devices that similarly focus or disperse waves and radiation other than visible light are also called lenses, such as microwave lenses, electron lenses, acoustic lenses, or explosive lenses.
