authorized the minting of
cents. which had started the
previous year. Some were
struck in Morristown and
others in Elizabethtown under
contracts with several private
coiners. This accounts for the
numerous varieties and the
large quantities available even

CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. J. WEDDERBURN
Curator Of Photography

Even cameras are coming

days. Witness the new 35-mm.

according to the maker, is SO
simple to use that If you don't
get perfect pictures with every
roll, bulbs and films are ION
the house."
The unique feature Of the
Obex Corp. product is the So
called SETON an auto
matte diaphragm control that
calculates the right exposure
for indoor flash shots with any
film or bayonet base bulb. The
taking of daylight shots has
also been simplified by means
of special markings on both
sides of the lens mount.
Once the calculating device
has been preset to the. type of
film and bulb used, it need
never be touched again for the
entire roll of film. The new
feature is linked with the
built-in range finder and +.
stops move to the exact posi-
tons for distance-from sub
ject when the camera is TO-
cused.
With conventional 35-mm.
cameras the user must find
the lamp-to-subject distance
and then divide the distance
into a guide number for each
flash bulb. However, the new
Bolsey automatically computes
the aperture opening with
each change Of focus.
When using the camera for
daylight shooting, the auto
matte daylight exposure ring
is turned to match existing

Five Stamps Selected
For 1857 Program
BY BELMONT FAIRIES

Selection. Of five commem-
orative stamps to be included
in the 1857 stamp program
was announced Friday by the
Post Office Department.
These include stamps hon.
oring Alexander Hamilton on
the 200th anniversary of his
birth; the Coast and Geo.
detic Survey on the 150th an
niversary OF its establishment.
and Oklahoma on the 5Oth
anniversary Of its admission
to the Union.
Also listed are a commemo-
rative honoring the school
teachers Of America and an
other wildlife conservation
stamp continuing the series
started this year.
The announcements said
dates and places Of first-day
sale / and details of designs
and color would be announced
later.
Tentative Stamp Plans
The Alexander Hamilton
stamp is expected to be re-
leased on the bicentennial
date, January IL, probably at
a ceremony on the steps of
the Sub-Treasury Building in
New York, site of Federal
Hall, where government UNI
der the Constitution began
with the Inauguration of
George Washington as Pres
ident and where Hamilton
had his Office as first Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The
suggested design, in a hori-
zontal formal. includes a head
of Hamilton and a picture of
Federal Hall.
The Coast and Geodetic
Survey was set up under an
act of Congress passed Feb
ruary 10, 1907, providing
funds for a survey of the
coasts and offshore fishing
grounds. First day ceremonies
are tentatively set for Wash
ington on February 10, but
since that is a Sunday there
may be a change. Chief OBJ
servance will be a presidential
dinner at the Statler on
February S.

design among Survey person.

After this setting is made only
two steps are required-focus
and expose.
Now you can wash your
films in boiling water-if you
want! Few would get a kick
out Of such a procedure but
those who have inadvertently
washed a priced negative in
hot water know how ruinous
this can be. The emulsion
softens, slips, and sometimes
even washes away.
Another new product, FIR
Liquid Hardener, has been es-
pecially compounded to pre-
vent accidents of this kind and
to allow the photographer to
wash his films without worry
ing about the temperature Of
the water supply. This will
probably appeal to those who
like to process films in the
summer or in tropical climes
where ordinary handling of
wet film at temperatures high
err than the 1910 degree level
will subject them to scratches
or abraSions even at the light
est touch. The FIR product is
a concentrate which can be
added to all acid-flxing solu-
tions, including those that
contain ordinary hardening
agents. One ounce is added to
each quart of hypo to assure
negatives will resist normal
abrasive action and sharp
changes in temperature.

Having trouble with out
of-focus close-upS? If you are
and own an M-3 Leica, the
Leitz people have come up
with a new 50-mm. Dual
Range Summicron lens which
has a second focusing range
for closeup work. The normal
range of this lens is from in
finity to three feet, four in
ches while the close-focusing
range from two feet, 10 in
ches down to 10 inches.
In a rigid mount, the Dual
Range job features a detach-
able optical viewing unit which
slips over the top of the lens
and corrects the viewfinder-
rangefinder images for work at
short distances. Not only does
the lens focus through the
M-3's -finder-rangefinder
in both ranges, but parallax
compensation is automatic all
the way down to 10 inches.
The optical viewing unit is
used only for work in the
close-focusing range. The lens
cannot be used in the close
focusing range without the
viewing unit; with the unit in
place it cannot be used in the
normal range.

Another new feature for
35-mm. fans is the "Adox $780,"
a camera with interchangeable
magazine backs, each to hold
a different type of film. The.
photographer can, in a matter
of seconds switch from Mono
chrome to daylight color to
indoor color.
Each separate magazine has
a film advance, a rewind de-

has its own shutter that auto
