ture of the Agfa Ultra Speed negative is its great speed. As an illustration of this speed, I took slow-motion pictures of a hockey game at four times the normal camera-speed, or 360 feet a minute. These pictures were made under the regular lighting at Madison Square Garden, and I secured a normal negative.''
Pathe Newsman William Deeke points out the economic advantages of newsreel filming with this faster film. He comments, "The Agfa Ultra Speed film makes it possible to photograph when it would be impossible to secure an exposure with ordinary film. In many instances it is possible to photograph interiors without the use of studio lights, thereby saving money."
Movietonews' Head Cameraman Jack Painter counts Ultra Speed Pan as important a part of a newsman's outfit as a fast lens. He backs this up by mention of comparative tests of different types of film exposed on the same "story." He writes us, "Agfa Ultra Speed Pan film has been used by the Movietone News Crews under widely varied lighting conditions, and always with excellent results. The greater speed of the Agfa Ultra Speed film gives all lenses an added advantage, and has made possible the photographing of stories heretofore beyond our reach.
"In news photography we frequently make use of slow-motion, and the Ultra Speed stock does much to compensate for the light lost through the increased camera speed.
"Just recently we photographed a Fashion Show, part of which was shot in slow-motion. During these scenes, we used several different types of film for purposes of comparison, and the Ultra Speed unquestionably made the better picture.
"We have also, on occasion, shot sound news stories under exceptionally poor night lighting conditions, using Agfa Ultra Speed film, one Photoflood bulb and an f : 2 . 3 lens. Without this excellent fast film being used it would have been impossible to make this type picture even with an f : 1 .5 lens.
Every Movietone News Cameraman now receives his quota of Agfa Ultra Speed Pan film. We consider it just as essential for his work as a fast lens on the camera."
These tributes to the new Agfa Ultra Speed Pan film are naturally most gratifying. We feel, too, that they are more than ordinarily sincere, coming as they do from the leaders of the newsreel camera clan, whose exacting work is traditionally based on the old saying that in news cinematography you can't put excuses— -or a film manufacturer's fine slogans — on the screen. In their work, only results count: and we are proud to have the newsreel cinematographers say that Agfa Ultra Speed Pan is giving them results.
