Panama Popes Set
BY BELMONT FAIRIES

Elements of commercial
ism in the issuance of the
recent Panama stamps pic
turing the IL popes named
Plus have been strongly criti-
cized by the organization re-
presenting topical collectors
Of religious subjects.
Winfield j. Hahn, president of
the Collectors of Religion on
Stamps Society (COROS) said
in a statement issued last
week:
While we appreciate the
increasing use of religious
themes on stamps as ref1ec-
ton of the timely religious
revival of our age, we urge that
such expressions be genuine,
sincere, and in keeping with
the reverence which members
of all faiths feel toward sacred
subjects and symbols.
Our society is very dis
turbed over certain aspects of
the Panama issue which We
think are in poor taste. An
nouncement of the issue
through paid magazine and
newspaper advertising is un-
precedented in philstely and
decidedly detrimental to our
hobby. The inclusion of stamps
OF high value is unwarranted
and smacks of outright ex-
ploitstion. This set of II is
priced at So face value and is
said to be the first of a set
that will ultimately include
262 stamps!
If the proceeds of the issue
were being devoted to some
worthy charity, one might view
this with some equanimity but
1t appears from the evidence
at hand to be a private specu-
latlVe venture.
If Panama continues the
proposed set honoring the
popes, she would be well ad-
Vised to rely on normal means
OF communication for an
nouncing the issues. TO RELY
ON the normal trade channels
OF dealers and collectors for
distribution of the issues. to
eliminate high-value denomi-
nations, and to pledge that all
proceeds above the cost of
printing the stamps will be.
used for a charitable purpose
worthy Of those being hon
ored.
Two Denver men, James E.
Ross and Howard L. Pearl.
originated the project. A Den
yer artist, Herndon Davis. is
preparing portraits of all the
recognized popes for the series.
Mr. Ross and Mr.. Pearl or
ganlzed a syndicate to finance
the stamps after obtaining an
agreement with Panama to au-
thorlze the issue and to super
wise its sale. Chief investor in
the syndicate is reported to be
an official of the West Coast
bank note Company which is
printing the stamps.
The Rocky Mountain News
reports that investors are to
receive 8 per cent of pro-
ceeds from the sale of the
stamps, and Mr. Ross and Mr..
Pearl are 10 get l per cent
each.
The first u stamps were to
have been issued in March.
1855. They were delayed until
August and then postponed

CAMERA ANGLES
BY A., J. WEDDERBURN
Curator Of Photography,
The Smithsonian Institution


Regardless of the film you
use OF the camera you own, the
pictures you take wouldn't be
there very long without that
standby of the darkroom:
Hypo sodium thiosulphate).
Old as photography itself,
hypo is the basic fixing solu-
ton that diSsolveS away the
silver salts left after develop
ment in the negative.
In use, hypo as a solution
usually includes a small guam
tity of acetic acid and a hard
enlng agent, so that the basic
fixing solution instantly stops
the developing process and
hardenS the gelatin emulsion
while fixing the image. But
hypo, the chemical sodium
thiosulphate, is large volume
item for the major chemical
manufacturers and is usually
delivered to professional stu
dos IN 25 and 100 pound kegs
or bags. 1t is available in a
duSt-llke powder, as well as in
crystalline sizes up to the a.
inch pellets known as rice"
Combining hypo with potas-
SUM ferrocyanide. photogra-
piers use the resulting solu-
ton. known as Farmers re-
Queer, to cut overly dense neg
atlyeS and prints into a more
acceptable density.
Amateur photographers. who
are careless with their solu-
lions while mixing or pouring,
have .ound that when hypo
dries, it leaves a white residue
which turns to powder. If this
powder is permitted TO settle
on undeveloped paper or film,
IT leaves more completely
cleared areas, supplanting the
Photographic image. 1t is the
war against hypo marks which
is the main reason. in addition
to the common dust problem,
for photographers to keep their
darkrooms immediately clean.
In recent years amateurs
have found that prepared
rapld-flX solutions such as
Rapld-FiXol solves the prob
lens both of mixing chemicals
and comparatively slow fixing
processes. The liquid fixers
save the trouble of purchasing
separately the various ingredi-
entS of the fixing bath and the
trou b leS o m e Weighing and
mixing procedures. Prepared
f1xerS clear the film in less
than a minute, while ordinary
hypo takes nearly three times
as long. Rapid fixing also
tends to avoid the occasional
yellow stain that marks an
improperly fixed print.
NEW FILM
The Ansco people have an
other hlgh-speed color trans
parency film that will prob
ably interest advanced ANA
teurs as we'll as professional
photographers. This, Ansco-
chrome Professional Sheet
Film. tungsten type, has an
exposure index speed rating of
Is.
The light-sensitiye emulsion
OF the film is balanced in man
ufacture to give the highest
color fidelity when exposures
are made under standard 3200K
studio lighting. The new film
may also be exposed under
clear flashlamp, or photofNd
lighting by using appropriate
filters over the camera lens
The new film may be proc
esSed by the user in any dark

DUAL CAMERA
Here are a few words for
those who like to shoot their

work. There is now on the
market a moderately priced
camera $4,000 known as the
Super Richoflex Dual cam
era. 1t has two interchange
able backs, adapting both to
100 film and 35-mm. film.
Equipped with matched 30
nm. coated, color corrected
f:3.5 lenses it also has a shut
ter with speeds to 1900 of a
second and bulb.
Other features of the Richo-.
flex include full-size ground
glass focusing, eye-level &C

SQUARE THAT F-STOP
Even advanced photogs are
often puzzled by exposures re-
CURED for different f-stop set
tingS. The larger the f-stop,
the smaller is the lens OPEN
ing This lets in less light, so
a longer exposure must be
given. 1t might seem that f-8
would take twice the exposure
for IA. However, the exposure
varies with the square of the
f-stop number tthe number
multiplied by ITSELF.
The square of IA is Is and
that of f-8 in "a. Since 81 is
four times 16, the exposure
for f-8 is four times the ex-
posure for IA.
Thus, if the correct exposure
for IA is 400 second. with
the same film and light con-
ditions you would have to give
LES for f-8, or l so at f-5.6.
At f-28 the correct exposure
would then be l 200, and it
would be 400 at f-2.
But YOU needn't be a mathe-
matician because the scale on
most exposure meters gives
Immediately the correct ex-
posure for any f-value.

easy for his son TO become
Great by using the accom-

who put everything ready into

tetradrachmS had the laurel
crowned head Of the god Zeus
on one side and a horse and
rider on the other.
Across the Danube, in pres

mania, there lived Celtic tribes
who were mad about Philip s
coins. AS, however. the trlckle
of these was modest, and the
Celts had silver of their own,
they started 10 initiate Philip S
issues.
Being poor benighted Bar
barians. they did not possess
the Greek engravers' skill. 1t
was not important that Zeus
should have well-deslgned eyes
or nose, only that he should
have a stout laurel wreath over
his brow. If the horse looked
like an overgroWn rat or
donkey, no matter as long as
it had four legs!

Philips coins travelled all over
