Talk:Aerial image

Yikes, this is true in such a domain specific way as to be mostly wrong. Google eyepiece aerial image. Maybe just a pointer to Virtual Image, which seems to be the popular term these days, but for the 19th and 20th centuries, the term aerial image was the term for the image floating in space that another optical system focus on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.0.12.240 (talk) 18:51, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Disclaimer regarding subject knowledge[edit]

Hi, coincidentally I came across this stub when searching for optically formed 'aerial images'. My search was related to how some 'start-up' companies are now offering - or in the process of developing - generic 'digital backs' for film cameras using mobile phones. These are offered at much lower prices than more expensive 'digital backs' that allow film cameras to (temporarily) be fitted with a digital sensor.

I have no personal affiliation with any company or product in this field and no specialist knowledge in optics.

My aim in editing this page is primarily to include some references to 'optical' aerial images that I came across. I'm grateful to another member of photo.net for introducing me to the principle of 'aerial images' and explaikng how these are used in 'digital backs' that are based on mobile phones.

I see no relation between the subjects. I've used aerial image cameras professionally for 40 years. --Janke | Talk 15:46, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
