FILMPLATE PREMO

All that we have just said of the Pocket Premo C is equally true of the Filmplate Premo, but this model has even greater capabilities. Like the Pocket Premo C it takes films or plates with equal facility, but it is fully equipped for more serious and more particular work.

It has a rack and pinion for focusing, rising and sliding front and swing bed. These latter features are of great importance in making pictures of high buildings, mountains, and the like, for they enable the user to decrease his foreground without tipping the camera proper, which causes an untrue convergence of lines toward the top of the picture.

The shutter is the Kodak Automatic, which works with bulb or finger release for time, bulb, instantaneous and retarded speeds of from 1 second to 1/100 second. It is also supplied with Kodak Autotime Scale. Under every possible outdoor light condition this scale shows at a glance just where to set diaphragm and speed lever to get properly timed exposures. The lens is the Planatograph, the best obtainable aside from the anastigmats, and each lens is carefully tested before and after being fitted to the camera.

With accurate focusing scale and brilliant finder, the Filmplate Premo is a splendid snap shot instrument. Whereas, for particular work, the ground glass is instantly available for composition or focusing, whether films or plates are being used.

With all these advantages there is nothing bulky or cumbersome or complicated about the Filmplate Premo. It is as compact and as easily carried as the average camera for films alone. It is so simple to understand and operate that anyone who can read the instructions which come with the camera can at once start in to make good pictures, without any trouble at all.

The 3A size is especially suitable for post card work, for bust and full length portraiture and for artistic landscape compositions.

The Filmplate Premo is made in the most careful manner of the best of materials. The box is made of thoroughly seasoned wood, front bed of aluminum, all covered with selected leather of beautiful seal grain. All metal parts are highly nickeled, the bellows is of black leather, and the general appearance of the cameras is most striking. These cameras are especially suitable for home portraiture with Kodak Portrait Attachment on account of the ground glass focusing feature.
