This supplies the needed protection, and the camera owner need worry no further. "I icant my pictures as big as I can (jet them. What is the largest picture I can get?" The foregoing has been asked the writer quite consistently by a number of Filmo owners. It is the natural desire to want the pictures as large as possible. However, the size of the projected picture is a matter of relativity, and the owner or the prospective owner of an amateur out fit need not hesitate in his use or purchase of the same because of the lack of projection space in his home. The minimum size picture may be enjoyed just as thoroughly as that of maximum size, once the family audience is accustomed to the difference Thus, under ordinary conditions, where a throw of 40 feet is convenient, a clear picture, six by eight, is possible with a two-inch lens. In conclusion, for those who are using the reversible tvpe of film, it might be well to suggest that this film should be sent to the company laboratories as soon as it has been exposed as lack of promptness in this respect often engenders excessive handling before it is finally sent, with the result that unpleasant scratches may have been accumulated, through no fault of the laboratory itself.
