Already there are more than four hundred subjects from which library subscribers may choose. Specialized Usage As complete as this movie equipment is for amateur use, there are still those who will not be entirely satisfied. These will want special lenses for a more specialized type of cinematography. Thus the serious worker, the advanced amateur, the surgeon, the scientist, the naturalist and others will appreciate Cine-Kodak A with the f. 1.9 lens equipment, and the interchangeable long focus f. 4.5 (3}i inch) lens for telephoto effects. This f. 1.9 lens is • three times as fast as the f .3.5 lens with which this model was originally equipped, so that the Cine-Kodak A can now be pressed into service a lot of times and in a number of places where ordinarily pictures cannot be secured. With a subject close to a good window and bright light outside, it will even make interiors. With this faster lens the cranking can also be speeded up so that interesting slow motion pictures can be made even when the light is poor. For Surgeons Many surgeons and obstetricians are expected to desire this equipment for securing records of operations for teaching purposes in hospitals. Another innovation for the advance amateur cinematographer is a separate lens for telephoto effects for the Cine-Kodak A, which is interchangeable with the f. 1.9 lens. The f. 1.9 lens can be removed and in its place can be substituted the 78 mm. {?>% inch) f. 4.5 lens with which the image is three times as large as the image made with the regular lens. It is designed to secure a good sized image of subjects a considerable distance away, as, for instance, football players and baseball players from the side-lines, wild animal pictures, or in fact anything that cannot be approached for images of satisfying size. By developing this new equipment the Eastman Kodak Company has shown great progress in furthering this fascinating pastime in the past year. Just as an army of amateur photographers arose more than three decades ago after the "Kodak" was developed, the legions of home movie enthusiasts have already begun to form. E.
