" Queen Elizabeth."— Most cine exposure meters are graduated so that they give an accurate exposure with the normal speed Kodak film. If you are using super speed film such as Agfa Novopan or Kodak super-sensitive, then the exposure should be half that indicated on your meter or one stop smaller; thus if j'ou get a reading of 5.6 the correct exposure on the super-sensitive film will be f,'8. Another point to remember when iising the panchromatic film, after having become accustomed to the orthochromatic, is that good exposures can still be obtained late in the day when the light is getting yellow. We have seen some surprisingly good shots taken quite late in the evening with super-pan film. Relatively, super-sensitive and panchromatic films generally are much more sensitive in artificial light than in daylight. For example, the two films above-mentioned, while twice as fast in ordinary' daylight, are at least four times as fast in artificial light, such as that obtained from incandescent lamps. C. S. T., Clapham. — Briefly speaking, there are three different types of surface available for projection ; plain white, matt aluminium and crystal bead — sometimes called crystal pearl. Of these three the first has the lowest reflecting power and the last the highest, but all three have their advantages and disadvantages. If you have plenty of light, a pure white screen, or, better still, white with a slight tinge of yellow, is generally considered best, as the picture appears uniformly bright over a wide angle. The crystal bead type of screen gives a verv pleasing picture of great brilliance but unless you arc close to the line joining the projector with the screen you do not see the picture at its full briUianee. The aluminium surface falls half-way between these two. This matter is discu.ssed further in our "Apparatus Tested" columns this month. C. L. A., Middlesex. — There is no difficulty whatever in obtaining cine apparatus, both cameras and projectors, on the hire purchase system if you apply to our advertisers. Furthermore, you need not think you will be " looked down upon " for asking for such terms.
