> Hi - There's an article on msnbc that I thought you all would be interested in: > although I'm pretty sure it was not taken with a Pentax :) > > http://www.msnbc.com/news/772860.asp?0dm=N15LT > > Criteque? :) The July/ August issue of Photo Techniques doesn't agree. Apparently, another Ni�pce image, shot in 1825, is the actual first photograph. It sold at a Sotheby's auction in Paris, complete with Ni�pce's documentation, to the French government for $443,220. The French government then donated it to the French national library. Sorry, but it appears the information on this website falls into the "sky is pink, I read it on the web" category.
