Book 3 — Photo-Copying Lens Increases Angle of Camera

Reading edition

Trying to take some indoor pictures I found the angle of my ordinary lens was insufficient to “get in” the various objects I desired. Not having a wide angle lens, I decreased the focal length of the lens by using a copying attachment. The results were quite pleasing and while there is some distortion and less of the plate is covered than usual, there is a remarkable increase in the angle of view. To obtain definition, it is necessary to stop the lens down, but the pictures are very clear.—Samuel L. Pickett, Denver, Colo.
