MINIATURE CAMERA PHOTOGRAPHY

A Big Catch: Taken with a Leica Camera by Oscar Soetbeer.
When a lens hood is used it will prevent light that is not used in making the negative from entering the lens. Tn my own work I never make an exposure unless a hood has been previously slipped over the lens. There are occasions when the hood is left at home. However, with a small piece of pasteboard and a few bits of adhesive plaster a lens hood can be improvised in a few minutes. Use a lens hood for every "shot" you take, and you will notice a decided improvement in your pictures.
The Super Ikomat Camera: This new camera, featured by Carl Zeiss, Inc., introduces one of the latest advances in roll-film cameras in that it is supplied with an accurate range finder which is connected to the lens. The range finder is of the usual military type ; that is two images are seen, the lens is turned until both images coincide, at which time it is critically focused.
The Super Ikomat uses the standard 8-exposure 214x334 roll-film (No. 120, B-2, etc.) and a removable metal mask allows either 8 exposures 2 3/16x3^ inches or 16 exposures 2I/«xl 11/16, to be made. The latter size negative makes this camera a member of the miniature class.
Optical equipment includes a Zeiss Tessar f :4.5 10.5
cm. lens in a focusing mount. The shutter is the Compur, enabling exposures from 1 second to 1 /250th second, and T. & B. The new 12 second delayed action feature is also included.
The camera is of the usual folding type retaining the drop bed and self-erecting front feature. The body is all metal covered with grained black leather.
A Note on Printing Papers: Hard papers have the tendency of bringing out graininess in the negative, making the general use of soft printing papers desirable in many cases. Of course if the negative possesses extreme fine-grain characteristics this is of no import. In cases where the negative is prone to produce a grainy print, it is advisable to use a soft paper compensating for the low contrast it produces by using a contrasty paper developer.

OBITUARY
Ernest L. Wallace, prominent patent attorney, well known and popular in the motion picture and oil industries, passed away, April 18, at his home, 111 West Seventh Street, Los Angeles.
Mr. Wallace was fifty-five years old and died suddenly of a heart attack. He is survived by wife and family.
Carl Meister has gone "to join the innumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death."
On the night of April 18, while romping with his baby, he suddenly called to his wife that he felt ill and he had time only to place the baby safely on the couch before he slumped upon the floor and immediately passed away.
Brother Meister was for many years operative cameraman at Universal and he was popular with both his employers and his fellow craftsmen.
To his bereaved wife The International Photographer extends assurances of profoundest sympathy and sorrow.
