ing. Being larger, they are easier
to work with than the 35-mm. film.
Most of these cameras have reason
ably fast lenses and shutter speeds
and are, therefore, well suited to
most Photographic activities. The
camera is light, uses inexpensive
film, and Is ready for action at
moments notice. It is fast enough
for sports, large enough for por-
traits, can be used with flash gun,
and is 2 well-built camera for
photography In general.
Should you be considering the
purchase of used equipment, be sure
that it is In good working order.
The shutter and other operating
mechanisms should be thoroughly
tested at the first opportunity. Gen.
orally speaking, it is a pretty safe
bet to buy a used camera. Few
dealers will put them up for sale
without thorough checkup and 4
guarantee Of satisfaction.

Rocket Photo Seen
Speculative Factor
In Future Conflict

In . possible war Of the future,
photography, which has exerted a
great influence on the outcome of
two world wars, is slated for an
even more important role.
New inventions and progress In
rocket warfare may become causa-
tive factors in rendering observation
and reconnaissance by plane obsoles-
cent. In that event 1t Is conceivable
that photography may well become
the eyes Of the Army.
With the perfection Of 4 rocket
that may be operated by remote
control, one or more mechanically
operated cameras could be installed
for the purpose Of Photographic
reconnaissance or mapping Of areas
inaccessible through enemy action
or for other reasons.
A war Of the future may see huge
flights Of demolition rockets move
10 the attack, followed by smaller
formations Of specially designed re-
connaisance rockets. The recon-
Nuisance rockets might be guided
by remote control to the target area
and return to their bases within
short time with complete photo
graphic details of the result Of the
action.

other annoying feature of the mini
camera, If your vision is faulty, is
the difficulty Of using the small
finder to its best advantage. Eye
glasses have a habit of getting in
the way and focusing becomes a
chore under this condition.
The medium sized camera CLASH
fication embraces the box camera,
the press-type camera, the folding
camera and the reflex camera. The
box camera Is the best known and
the least expensive. 1t is always
ready to 60, has no problems Of
focus or speed and can produce sur
priSingly excellent results If used
properly. However, 1t Is limited In
scope, is Of little use for closeups,
high speed or precision work, and
in the long run will not satisfy the
earnest worker. Regardless Of all
criticism, the box camera has been
with us long time and will very
likely remain.
The folding camera is consider
ably more versatile than the box
camera and is easy to carry. De-
pending on price, you will find this
type of camera equipped with a
variety Of accessories and having a
wide range of lenses available. Most
models are capable Of being focused
which, depending upon shutter and
lens. brings this type into the group
suitable for almost any phase of
photography.
The press-type camera, as its
name implies, is particularly suited
to the needs Of the news photogra-
pher. It, too, is designed for general
use and has the added advantage
of a ground glass for accurate focus
ing and composition planning. Built
along rugged lines, this camera has
had universal acceptance among
those demanding versatile instru-
ment capable of taking the hard
knocks incident to news work and
modern warfare. Several manufac-
turers are now making this camera
in smaller sizes than the standard
4-by-5 in an effort to make it avail
able to the, advanced amateur at
a price within his means.
Reflex Is Popular.
During the last few years the
twin-lens reflex camera has become
increasingly popular among the pho
tographic fraternity. And justly so.
This camera type is outstanding for
its many virtues. The greatest ap-
peal Of the reflex to the beginner
lies in the fact that 1t is the easiest
to focus accurately. The scene or
image to be taken Is seen right side
up on the ground glass and exactly
as it will be recorded on the hlm.
This eliminates the worry of the
photographer who has trouble in
judging his footage.
The popular reflex cameras are
built to accommodate 100 and $40

Camera Angles ~

The most important single consid-
Grafton in the selection of your
camera Is the need to predetermine
just exactly what you expect to ac-
complish with 1t. II you are inter-
ested in snapshots of the children
and friends or a record OF next sum-
mer's vacation, then your choice may
be an inexpensive box camera. On
the other hand, this will not do if
you desire to make color pictures.
If you are a sports fan, a camera
with relatively fast lens and shut
ter speed is indicated.
Once you have decided what you
want in the way of camera perform
ance, the rest is easy, provided you
have some knowledge Of the differ
ent types Of cameras and Of their
uses.
Roughly speaking. cameras are
divided into three groups or types:
l, the miniature; 2, the medium
sized camera, and 3. the large or
view camera. Since the latter cate
CORY is specifically designed for the
professional or commercial photog-
rapher, 1t may be dismissed from
further consideration at this time.
The miniature or 35-mm. camera
is preferred by many for it's small
size, portability, speed in operation
and low operating cost. It is suit
able for both black-and-white pho
Biography and color work. There are,
however, certain limitation to the
miniature which must not be over
looked.
The versatility of the 35-mm.
camera has led to its increasing pop
ularity over the years until, from
fad, it has become firmly established
in the amateur field. The mini"
is ideal for the sportsman photog-
rapher and hiker who wants to
travel light. 1t has the advantage of
ease and quickness of operation
with minimum of effort necessary
to prepare for the next exposure.
The fact that short-focal-length
lenses are used on these cameras
makes 1t possible for the photogra-
pher to have faster lenses at a COM
paratively lower cost.
Adapted to Many Uses.
The owner of the small camera
will find it readily adaptable to can
did photography, fiashlight pictures,
indoor snapshots, pictorial photog-
raphy and invaluable where a long
series Of pictures are to be made on
the same subject. The low cost of
film and processing are factors we'll
worth considering In this respect,
it should be pointed out that those
who plan to do their own darkroom
work need only an inexpensive en-
larger, a daylight developing tank
and few trays for the processing
of paper prints.
On the other hand, there are
few disadvantages to miniature pho
Biography. Chief among these is the
small size Of the film. Contact prints
from 35-mm. negatives are consid-
cred too small by many and en-
largements Of any great size are apt
to show an amount of grain despite
great care in film developing. This
does not apply to color film. An
