FILMPLATE PREMO SPECIAL

For those who want the highest possible efficiency in a hand camera, combined with compactness and convenience, the Filmplate Premo Special is truly the ideal camera.

It is thoroughly equipped to make good pictures under all conditions of amateur photography where good pictures could possibly be made, aside from ultra rapid focal plane photography.

It is fitted with every desirable mechanical convenience. It has a fast, fully corrected lens,—the Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat, f.6.3, specially designed for hand camera work, and a high speed shutter, the Compound, that works with great precision. This shutter attains a speed of 1/250 second in the 3¼ × 4¼ size, 1/200 in the 3¼ × 5½ and 4 × 5 sizes and 1/150 second in the 5 × 7 size.

This equipment cannot be surpassed. It not only provides a very high speed for rapidly moving objects, but it enables the operator to make pictures on dark days, indoors, and under generally unfavorable light conditions, where absolute failure would result from the use of the ordinarily equipped camera.

These advantages are offered in a camera that takes films or plates with equal facility, and is as compact and easy to carry, as convenient to operate, as the average hand camera for films only. In addition this camera is provided with a ground glass which may be used for sharp focusing and accurate composing between each exposure, and this can be done with equal ease whether films or plates are used. This is an advantage which will appeal strongly to many, as it enables one to utilize to the fullest extent the microscopic definition of his anastigmat lens.

In keeping with the high grade of work for which this camera is designed, we have constructed and finished it in the best possible manner. The covering is a rich black morocco, the bellows black leather, and metal parts are handsomely nickeled, producing a most attractive combination.

Particular attention is called to the 3A size for its all-around popularity, and to the 5 × 7 for its unusual compactness for a 5 × 7 camera of its great capabilities.
