Movie Makers (Jan-Dec 1953)

MOVIE MAKERS through lack of personal experience, do not bring out to the customer the proper advantages of the 16mm. system. The trend in magazine cameras has been spotty. From 1948 to 1950 magazine camera sales probably increased faster than roll camera sales. Beginning in late 1950 and continuing through the early part of 1952, roll film camera sales increased faster than magazine camera sales. Then in the closing part of 1952 magazine camera sales took a sharp spurt upward. This year we expect that the sales of roll film cameras will increase much more rapidly. R. C.
