The Ansco Color ultra-violet absorbing filters are recommended when photographing distant scenes and subjects on or near water. There are two of these available and they differ only in the degree of ultra-violet absorption. The UV-16, which is the lighter one, is recommended for general outdoor photography whenever haze correction is necessary. It should also be used for indoor photography with Tungsten Type 1 6mm. Ansco Color film when the light sources are photoflood lamps. The UV-17 filter, which is somewhat darker than the UV-16, is recommended when more correction is desired than c/n be obtained with the UV-16. No increase in exposure is required with either filter. The suggested exposure meter ratings of Ansco Color film are as follows: Weston G. E. Daylight Type film.. 8 12 Tungsten Type film 12 16 Through exhaustive tests made with Ansco Color 16mm. reversible film, the following exposure table has been established for use with the Daylight Type film out-of-doors on the basis of camera shutter speed of 16 frames per second: Buck Lighted front Side or Open Lighted Lighted Shade Bright sunlight ... f/g f/5.6 f/4 Hazy sunlight, soft shadows f/5.6 Sun overcast, bright day, no shadows f/4 Sun overcast, dull day f/2.8 These exposure figures are for medium subjects.

All in all, this decisive action on the part of Ansco fulfills a long cherished hope among movie amateurs for more color film for their cameras. As yet, there is no prospect that Ansco's entry into the color film field will bring with it the long anticipated hope for cheaper color film. At present Ansco Color 16mm. reversible film lists at $8.48 per 100 feet as against $8.55 for Kodachrome, taxes not included. But with the greater manufacturing and processing capacity built up by both firms in supplying government needs, and the increased civilian demand for color film that will follow after the war, a lowering of price to the consumer is likely to follow. Cineamateurs are cautioned against disappointment should they be unable immediately — or even months hence — to find Ansco Color film available from photo dealers. As previously stated, the film is being released in moderate quantities in New York City. As quickly as Ansco can step up production, dealers in other cities will be supplied. In the meantime, you can look forward to some genuine filming pleasure with this sparkling new color film. Qrame J^elea^e • Continued from Page i rj the rear (picture 5), locate position for the window hole in rear of camera case so that the numbers on the drum will be aligned with the exact center of this window. This may be facilitated by first holding the case directly over the mechanism in the same position that it would occupy if the mechanism were in it; then, with a "T"-square or rule, mark a vertical line up the back of the camera from the center of the numbered strip on the mechanism below. Then set the case beside the mechanism and rule a horizontal line from the center of the drum across the back of the case. This should give an accurate vertical and horizontal alignment of the window hole. Where these lines for the window intersect, drill a 5/16" hole in the camera case. A small piece of thin glass cemented over hole on inside of case completes the window. I used lantern slide glass because of its thinness and cemented it in place using "liquid solder." Next and final step is to remove the winding key and control lever, previously mounted in place for testing, and, by following in reverse order, pictures 4 to 1, reassemble the camera, making it ready for use with its new features.
