Exposure remains the most impor¬ tant item as far as photography is con¬ cerned. Sometimes exposure has to be determined as much by experience as by meter. And, if you’re ever in doubt, make two lakes using different ex¬ posures. Shoot the second take slightly on the dark side if there is a question, as most labs can make more satisfac¬ tory correction with under-exposed film than with film that is over-exposed.

Q.— — / am told that the 200mm, 280mm and 400mm Leica camera lenses can also be mounted on the Bolex H16 camera with the aid of a Leica adapter ring and tube. However, / re¬ call reading somewhere that only lenses specifically designed for 16mm cameras should be used with them. In your opin¬ ion will use of 35mm still camera lenses on the Bolex H16 affect results in any way? — T. A. S., Green Bay, Wise. A.— Leica lenses in a thread mount can be used on 16mm C-mount cam¬ eras such as the Bolex H16 by means of the Leica adapter made by Paillard, Inc. Leica lenses used on your camera should provide completely satisfactory results, especially since only the cen¬ ter portion of the field is used. The viewfinder on the camera should be set for the focal length of the Leica lens used. The focusing ring on the lens should be set for the subject-tocamera distance and the diaphragm then set in the normal manner accord¬ ing to your exposure meter reading. 246 AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER, APRIL, 1963
