rendering Of a scene must know
the characteristics Of their own
lens. For example. five.and six
component lenses such as the
Planar. Xenotar, Ultron and
Summicron emphasize the yel-
lows and reds while three or
four component lenses as the
Tessar and Elmar usually en-
phasize blue because Of the
optical glass Of which they are
made.
None Of these lenses cause
Q color falsification and the
specific fllter action Is not OBJ
jectionable.
MOST CAMERA FANS now
adays use panchromatic film,
which is sensitive to all colors.
However. orthochromatic Aim
is still used. and. since 1t Is
only slightly affected by red
rays, a red light can be used in
the darkroom while develop
ment is taking place. Modern
fast panchromatic films must
not be exposed to any light at
all during development due to
their color sensitivity.
Il
THE FOCAL LENGTH Of a
camera lens is the distance
from the center of the lens
to the film when it is focused
on a distant object. When To-
cused on closer objects, the
lens has to be at a greater
distance from the film. If it
is twice the focal length Of
the film. it will sharply focus
objects at the same distance
in front of the camera, and
they viii be photographed
natural size. If the lens is still
farther away from the film. it
will be closer to the object,
making the image of the OBJ
ject even larger.
MODERN CAMERA LENSES
are made Of many pieces Of
glass, in order to eliminate va
rious faults or alterations. For
instance. a single lens will not
focus red and blue light at
the same distance. But If q
lens is made of two elements
with different kinds of glass,
properly combined, such chro-
matte alteration may be cor
rected. Spherical alteration
causes light rays passing
through the edge of the lens
to be focused at a shorter
distance than those going
through the center. This like
wise. may be corrected by
combining several elements
into one lens.

and dropped. in q free fall,
from 5000 feet.
No stabilizers were used so
that the camera tumbled as
1t fell, photographing its own
drop in a dizzying series of
16-mm. photos. The camera
buried itself approximately
four inches in the sand. The
lens snapped off, but was
otherwise unchanged and can
still be used for photography.
Film was run through the
camera after the test and
showed exec e'dingly good
sharpness and steadiness on
projection. The film in the
camera at the time of the fall
was intact.
John Waddell of Fairchild
Camera and Instrument Corp,
who designed the camera,
noted that the fact that the
camera could Withstand such
q crushing impact proved that
the film could be recovered
from this camera whether it
had been cast out of a missile,
from an aircraft under test, or
from a target aircraft in the
event Of disintegration.

A NEW DEVICE has recent
ly been developed in Germany
through which negatives can
be studied as positives. Known
as the Vertoskop. it utilizes
an effect known as "phospho-
rescence extinction. If a layer
Of phosphorescent substance is
excited by ultra violet light, it
will become dark If infra-red
light is directed at it at the
same time.
In the Vertoskop, negative
Is inserted in the light beam Of
the infra-red source. Accord
ing to its transparency. much
or little infra-red light will be
passed. proportionately reduc-
ing the intensity Of the phos-
phorescence of the surface.
Thus darkness is produced
with infra-red light. The pic
ture Is viewed through two
eye-pieces for any desired
length Of time.
PHOTOGRAPHERS seldom
realize that the tonal qualities
Of their color shots are affected
by the filter action Of the lens
itself. as well as the type Of
film, light and subject. Each
type Of optical glass has q
color Of its own, which may
transmit more infra-red or
ultraviolet rays-more red or
blue light.

OF so many corporations to
