Having examined many

pressed by the --latest" the

yes.
Out of Western Germany
comes q 35-mm. still camera,
as nearly fully automatic as
q camera can be without a
bell that would ring when
q perfect composition is
achieved. Something must be
left for the photographer to
do.
Many amateur camera fans
shy away from precision in
struments because they are
afraid of the complicated
gadgets to be pushed or pulled
or otherwise manipulated.
But the new AGFA Optlma
is as simple and easy to
operate as any box camera.
It has the magic eye that
controls the diaphragm; but
so do other cameras. In adj
dition, its shutter is auto
matically set and that worri-
some factor of getting the
camera focused by fumbling
for wasted seconds is also
simplified to the point of
being no problem at all.
The most obvious differ
ence between this new preci-
sion camera from West Ger
many and other cameras is
that 1t does away completely
with numbers except for fash
exposures. When pushing

NUMISMATIC NOTES
u. S. Mints-16

Before the 40 gold rush,
the citizens Of sparsely-settled
Oregon Territory were con-
tent to trade on the basis Of
wheat or beaver pelts. The
provisional territorial govern
ment had, in fact, passed an
act on December 10, 1845,
providing that among other
things, approved orders on
solvent merchants, and good
merchantable wheat at mar
ket value" would be legal
tender for taxes on judy
ments Of the courts.
With the discovery of gold
in neighboring California.
many Of the trappers and
berjacks of Oregon
headed south. On their re-
turn. gold dust became the
accepted medium of ex-
change. But its wastefulness
soon caused holders to be-
come dissatisfied.
The Legislature passed an
act, on February Is, 1849,
establishing a mint at Oregon
City to coin IS and $40 gold
pieces without alloy. How
ever, the new governor, who
arrived in Oregon City on
March 2, declared the act I'M
constitutional, since the ter
ritory had since become part
of the Union.
This did not deter the COM
munity from continuing the
project, however, because no
relief was offered in the way
of circulating coin. A group

changes to green indicating
that the light is adequate for
a correctly exposed picture.
This magic key" replaces
figures and complicated man
ual operations and so the
entire roll Of film Of 20 or SO
exposures may be expected to
consist of uniformly good ex-
poSures, regardless Of the
photographers skills.
The electric eye automat-
ically controls the shutter
speeds and lens aperture with
a range from 1888, 1880
second to 1872, 1880 second.
The shutter is always au-
tomatically set at its highest
speed consistent with the
available light at the time Of
the exposure. A notable fea-
ture of the camera is that
the diaphragm aperture and
the shutter are continuously
adjusted so that all speed or
aperture stops are eliminated.
1t is possible for the cam
era. for instance, to operate
at exposures Of 1/178 Of a
second or 1892 Of a second

attempts at automation for

on the idea of controlling
electronically a variable lens

fixed or had to be set manu-
ally.
