As far as grain is concerned, however, a print using an intermediate negative should be just as good in quality if care is taken in processing and the use of a negative also allows for the use of various effects, such as fades and dissolves, being introduced. gO per cent. of prints seen in cinemas are made from duplicate negatives and not from original negatives. (2) Excellent results may be obtained by the home processing of reversal film, provided that the makers’ formule are used and instructions followed. (See article in July issue of Amateur Cine World. FILMING ABROAD "— (J.E.M., Beckenham). Before leaving this country for a tour on the Continent it is advisable to apply to H.M. Customs for form C.104, which should be filled in in duplicate, showing the apparatus and film which is being taken out of the country. One copy will be kept by the Customs office at the outgoing port, and the other one will be stamped and handed back. If this is shown to the Customs officer on return to this country it will avoid all possibility of difficulty and delay or payment of duty. No customs difficulties should be experienced in Denmark, which permits a reasonable amount of film carried by amateurs with a camera as part of personal luggage free of duty. In Norway and Sweden no duties are levied on ‘“‘ necessities ”’ belonging to travellers. Cameras are regarded as necessities and the film for them would similarly be regarded. Of course, any film purchased abroad will be subject to import duty but the imposition of such duty is very much within the discretion of the Customs officer at the port of entry. EXPOSURES.

In very brilliantly lit open landscape subjects it 1s sometimes advisable to use one stop below the reading. The stops on a lens are so arranged that the relationship of the exposures is I, 2, 4, 8, etc., with the exception of the ‘‘ freak’’ stops at the largest 238 Here’s the best book for the cine beginner CINEMAN Clearly written in non-technical language, ‘Practical Home Movies” tells the newcomer to amateur cinematography all he wants to know about this fascinating hobby.
