Amateur Photographer & Cinematographer (1937)

6 THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER ADVERTISEMENTS December 29, 1937 “OOH, MY We wonder how many children said that on Christmas Day — we’ll hazard the guess that the number would send any professor of dietetics straight into the nearest loonybin, as P. G. W. would put it. Immoderation is a funny thing. Funny “ peculiar,” we mean, not funny 4‘ ha-ha.” It can result in a fat head, mal a I’estomac, or a depleted purse, yet nobody ever seems to do anything about it. Still, why bother — you only live once ! Nevertheless, the type of immoderation that results in a thin wallet appals TUMMY!” us. For that reason we implore you to choose your photographic outfit with the utmost discrimination and care. Before investing in new apparatus, whether you buy it from us or not, make sure that it is exactly what you need, and that it can be depended upon to do the work you have in mind. ” 202 ” is the only place in the country and, so far as we know, in the world, where every man is a keen miniaturist, where miniature apparatus and accessories only are stocked. Believe it or not, it means a great deal to ” Try 202 for Service.” ONCE UPON A TIME a miniaturist was sitting by the side of Lake Windermere crying fit to burst. Tears streamed down his shirt front as he bemoaned the lack of a telephoto for his Exakta. Oh, twas a sorry sight ! Suddenly a good fairy, wearing a strange disguise, appeared from nowhere, and listened attentively to the little man’s tale of woe. She then spoke in a strange tongue, saying, “ Say, getta load o’ dis, buddy. Yuh ain’t got whatya want, huh? Haw, dere ain’t no need to toin on de waterwoiks. Dry dem lamps o’ yourn, son, and getcha lens from “ 2 02 ” on hire poichiss. Dey’s a sure-fire crowd for dat sorta stuff ! " Moral. — Don’t wish for it ; buy it by hire purchase. REVIEWS ” A perfectly . book.” (Vance Lining). ” Never read such . in my life." (Hurcy Parris). ” Undoubtedly the work of a . ” (N. G. Monitor). The above may give you an idea of what others think of the second edition of " Miniature Enlargers and Accessories,” by R. G. Lewis, but why should you worry about other people s opinions when you can so easily form your own by writing to-day for a copy to be sent to you free and post free. MINIATURE NEWS AND TIPS DEPARTMENT TIP OF THE WEEK. — Some cameras fog film slightly as a result of light being reflected from the opening along the side. Some lens hoods are not efficient as a result of the inside having become shiny. Many cameras look old before their time, due to the enamel chipping off or leather wearing. These and other faults are easily corrected by the use of 237, which we use ourselves. It is available in two finishes : High-gloss and Dull-black. It dries metal-hard, and will not chip. If you cannot obtain it locally, we should be only too pleased to send you a tin of which ever finish you require at 2s. per tin. This looks rather more like an advertise¬ ment than a tip, we are afraid, but whatever this may look like, 237 is still wonderful stuff for renovating tired cameras. NEWS OF THE WEEK. — By the time this advertisement appears there will just have become available a model of the Rex meter (which costs £5) suitable for use with the Leica camera. The price will be just the same as for the Universal model. Attempts to adapt the Kalart flash-gun to the Rolleiflex have not met with signal success in this country, but we understand that the agents are obtaining specimens of the adapter in use in the States, which they believe to be quite satisfactory. We should imagine that the price of the adapter, over and above the price of £4 12s. 6d. for the gun, should be between 2s. 6d. and 3s. Until a week or two from now neither we nor the agents will be able to give you any more information than that given above, but after that time we should be able to comment on our practical experience of the American adapter.
