iv THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER ADVERTISEMENTS January 30, 1935 CONTAX in photography, as in sports and games, is the real test of efficiency. The good all-round athlete is seldom met with, but when he is, he is all the more appreciated. So it is with the THE PERFECT MINIATURE CAMERA ZEISS IKON LTD., 11, MORTIMER HOUSE, MORTIMER ST., W.1 The CONTAX can do more than other miniature cameras, because it is the fastest in more ways than one. Zeiss lenses up to the extremely rapid f/1.5 Sonnar, and the metal focal plane shutter -the only shutter fitted to miniature cameras giving a real I /1, 000th sec. exposure, allow taking sharp pictures of the fastest moving subjects, even when the light is not good. The CONTAX offers further remarkable advantages to its users, described in our interesting books, “The Connoisseur and the Contax,” and “ The Ten Contax Lenses.” Free on application to 4 PLEASE MENTION “ THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER ” WHEN CORRESPONDING WITH ADVERTISERS.
