446 American Cinematographer • November, 1937 MANY CAMERAS IN ONE... T he new EYEMO is many cameras in one. Used as a spring-driven hand camera, as shown above, it gets the picture where conditions de- manding maximum portability and quick shooting make large cameras impractical. The same Eyemo can be equipped with many of the features of Bell & Howell studio cameras, to master almost any photographic condition . . . and stripped to hand-camera form again in an instant, should the occasion require it. The basic Eyemo mounts three lenses on a turret head . . . offers your choice of the two turrets pic- tured. The enclosed spyglass view- finder is quickly adjusted for six dif- ferent field areas. Focusing and dia- phragm controls are seen through the finder, permitting manipulation even while shooting. S.M.P.E. stand- ard sound aperture and matched viewfinder are standard equipment on all turret models. Sound, silent, and other operating speeds are provided, the range vary- ing with the model selected. The improved vibrationless governor assures accurate speeds from the first to the last foot of film. Hand crank, supplementing the spring motor, is regular equipment. Electric motor—universal, 12-volt, or synchronous—can be added at any time, as can provision for 200- or 400-foot external film magazines, a prismatic focusing magnifier, and a focusing alignment gauge to per- mit placing focuser and lens succes- sively in the photographic position —all this while retaining the conven- ience of having a hand camera to use when simplicity is required. There are special Eyemos, too, for candid action still pictures and for other exacting jobs. Write for com- plete information.
