Now and again we des-
cribe cameras, projectors and
other Photographic appar-
atus. But none Of these
items may necessarily fit
your particular needs. Then
how does one go about buy
ing a camera or other par
ticular accessory? What is
the best" camera for you?
To our way of thinking
there is no best" camera.
Each is designed for a
specific type" of photo
grapher. The camera that is
best for me may we'll not be
the best for you and the
camera that is best for the
news cameraman may not be
the best for me or you.
Price Not Reliable Guide
Price Is no guide whatso-
ever as to the value of a
given camera to a given
prospective photographer. The
costliest camera Of them all
eve don't know which one
this Isl is probably the least
desirable for either the casual
camera fan or even the
average" camera enthusiast.
This is because such an
instrument is usually de-
signed for specialists who
require certain complex
qualities in a camera that
the ordinary photographer
would neither need nor un-
derstand. In the hands of
someone not skilled in its
use such a camera would
undoubtedly produce worse
photos than the same I'M
skilled individual could turn
out with the simplest and
least expensive camera of
them all.
What it really boils down
to is this: Before even con-
sidering the purchase of a
camera Cor other item of,
photo equipment) assess
your own intended approach
to photography or the
present state of your skill
as a photographer.
Even though you may in
tend to become a highly
skilled photo technician you
should not buy the high
priced camera unless vou are
well grounded in basic pho
Biography. If not. start out
with an uncomplicated cam
era that will enable you to
learn to take good pictures
from the start. If your prior
knowledge permits and you
have a definite need for a
more complex camera than
the one you now own-then
60 ahead and buy it.
Simplicity at First
Now let's take the case of
the beginner who knows
little about taking pictures.
He should get himself a box
camera or some other very
simple, easy to operate cam
era. Many budding camera
fans fall by the wayside
simply because they cannot
produce a good. snapshot
with tn cir complicated,
gadgeted cameras.
Next in Importance, after
you know your Photographic
goal, is the actual purchase

CAMERA ANGLES
Buyer Must Solve
Best Comero' Riddle

of a camera. Go to a repu-
table dealer whose chief in
terest should be getting you
and keeping you interested
in photography. Ask his aid.
Tell him what sort of pic
lures you expect to make and
he will guide you in the
selection of your camera. Be-
ware of the salesman who
trys to sell the beginner the
most expensive instrument
on the shelf.
Once you have decided on
the general camera type you
need, take lots of time.
Carefully examine all of the
cameras Of that type. Handle
and heft each one-get the
feel" of each camera. Try
out the shutter, check it for
ease Of focus and loading.
Most reliable dealers want
their customers to be salts
fled with their purchases,
and after you have made
your purchase they will con-
tinue to work with you to
be sure the camera suits
your needs. Most of them
would be willing to make an
exchange if you buy '"th e
wrong camera"
Then take the camera and
give it a real workout, test
ing it under all the condi-
tons that you might expect
it to cope with in your
particular picture taking de-
sign. Don't judge the results
until you have studied the
instruction booklet that &C
companies the camera and
practice what it breaches.
Too many tend to blame
their own mistakes on the
camera.

RECORD REVIEW
Exploring the Joys
Of Chamber Music
By HERMAN SCHADEN
Star Record Critic


This seems as apt q mo-
ment as any to explore the
delights Of chamber music
that sometimes overlooked or
unjustly snub bed little
brother Of the more massive
forms.
If this column achieves
nothing else, it will be salts
faction enough to win a few
converts to that wonderful
world where music is expe-
rienced in its most intimate
and satisfying guise.
This is the world where
the composers soul dwells,
where more often than not
his greatest works abide.
Who can gainsay this of
Beethoven or Haydn, to cite
only a couple, or in more re-
cent times of such as Bartok,
Hindemith or even Villa
LoboS?
Two tips record collectors
might bear in mind: I'D
There is nothing more salts
flying for home consumption
than chamber music-string
quartets, quintets and trioS:
two-instrument SonataS;
small instrumental combina-
tons Of all kinds; ensembles
such as the Virtuosi di Roma
or the Stuttgart Chamber
Orchestra, and co nothing
reproduces more faithfully on
records than chamber music.
With all this in mind,
finally the neophyte must
agree that only through re-
peated exposure to this form
can he come to realize the
riches gained through cham
Der music. So here are some
new records to consider:
BEETHOVEN: Trio in d,
opus 8. No. 2; BACH: Three
Sinfonias; SCHUBERT: Trio
No. Q in B flat: Jascha Hell
fetz, violin; William Primrose,
viola; Gregor Piatigorsky,
cello (RCA Victor. With
names like these, how can
this miss for an introduction
to CHI a m b er music? The
music itself is the lighter,
happier side of all three COM
posers, and you can bet these
distinguished players spin
right along with it. Not great
music, but good fun.
BERG: Lyric Suite; WE
BERN: Five Pieces. opus S;
Six Bagatelles, opus 9; the
Julliard String Quartet (RCA
Victor)-What is more BEAU
tiful than chromatic harmo-
MES? The answer may be
chromatic dissonances from
a master like Alban Berg,
whose Lyric Suite in six
movements is filled with ro-
mantle richness. No group
can play this. or the wonder
fully fragile and wispy music
of Webern, as well as the
Julliard Quartet. A marvel
Gus record to own.

MOZART: Clarinet Con-
certo in A, K. 622; Quintet
for Clarinet and Strings in
A; Jost Michaels, clarinet,
with the Westfalisches Sym
phony, Rubert Reichert con-
Quoting. and the Endres
Quartet-CVOX)-This is a
rare bargain, getting both
these beauties on one record.

raves over this new violin
piano team than anything
lately to hit the record marts.
And for good reason. Senof-

master of the Baltimore

feet partner for the equally
gifted Graffman. In these
two masterpieces they furnish

Possible Rapid Transit Use
