A visit to your photo dealer
might easily solve Christmas
gift problems. Virtually any,
one. young or old. will APP
preciate an item OF photo
graphic equipment, film. pa
per or other supplies.
Individual interests should
be considered when selecting
such a gift. Youngsters who
have never owned a camera
should. as a rule. be pre-
senteo first with a simple.
easy TO operate camera Of
the box type. It is essential
that the beginner be able TO
grasp the principles Of pho

etc. can come later.
had some experience in camera
FOR THOSE WHO have
had some experience in cam
era work select a more ad-
vanced camera. This could
mean anything from a fold
ing camera to a reflex cam
era. or a 35-mm job for either
taking snapshots or color
slides. Again. such a selection
should be made on the basis
Of a persons actual needs
or requirements. An enthu-
slastic follower Of sports
would need a machine cap
able Of taking pictures at
high speeds while another
who enjoy the more seden-
tary work Of taking pictures
OF flowers might well prefer a
reflex camera that would en-
able him to study a compost
ton at leisure.
Aside from cameras. there
are many other items dear
to the hearts Of camera fans.
Many are turning to home
processing and a wide Selec-
ton Of material is available
for the darkroom. Complete
processing kits can be bought
which include all the neceS-
saries for developing films.
and making prints. Included
are trays. developing tank,
paper. chemicals and the
other things needed by the
beginner. These darkroom
kits are inexpensive and pos
sibly just the thing for the
camera fan who likes to do
things on his own.
