exhausting of the possibilities of his particular camera and because of his own desire to branch out into some other field of photography.
It might be illuminating to mention my own experiences with still cameras in particular, because I started, as nearly all beginners do, with a Brownie camera. After apparently exhausting the possibilities of this type of camera I branched out to the smallest of Kodaks, which is now known as the vestpocket size. From that I Avent to a 21/4 by 3^4 and then to a 3 A Eastman Kodak which is a 3V± by 5% camera, commonly called Post-card size. The next step was a panorama camera, then the focal plane shutter camera of the Graflex type, then to a 5 by 7 view box, followed quickly by an 8 by 10 view box. But finding that the last two mentioned were heavier than I needed and that the Graflex, although a wonderful camera, was really intended for subjects of speed; and the panorama somewhat bulky and adapted to a certain type of pictures which I did not require often enough (Scenes on pages 110 and 112). I found myself back again with a 3A Kodak in my hands. For the last ten years I have used this type almost exclusively for still pictures. The shutter is fast enough for all of the usual demands, the shape of the picture is well suited to securing pictures of good composition, and the greatest pleasure of all is in the ease of operation, the handy size and light weight.
Of course this does not mean that all novice photographers will go through such a lengthy list. The point of it all is that each person in his choice of a camera should first think of its intended use. A cameraman using a Kodak such as described on a motion picture stage would be laughed out of HollyAvood, but for my own use I have found this to be the ideal, all-round, still camera.
As this is not intended to be a textbook for professional cameramen, it is needless for me to go through the various features of the professional movie cameras. Ho av ever in personal, professional picture-taking I have used many makes, the Williamson, Universal, Pathe, De Brie, Akeley, De Vry, Mit
