Movie Makers (Jan-Dec 1948)

MOVIE MAKERS 227 collect and publish much interesting information which would not otherwise be available to amateurs in the sticks. Since the readers would not. for the most part, ever have an opportunity to see the pictures in their local theatres, the discussions ought to be considerably more detailed than has been the case in dealing with Hollywood movies. Paul R. Stout, ACL Chicago, 111. Movie Makers has intentionally limited its reviews of theatrical films to those which our readers could see — in the belief that such comments would be more generally helpful. However, we share with reader Stout his admiration for the fine foreign films mentioned. If detailed reviews of such pictures — although unlikely to be seen by the majority — interest our readers, we shall be glad to hear from you on it. A GREAT HELP Dear Sirs: As a beginner I have found your publication a great help, particularly the Question and Answer column and The Clinic. I note that your December, 1947, issue had a survey on 8mm. cameras. Would it be possible to secure a copy of this issue? Harold C.

Dear Sirs: I have adapted the lens mount of a telephoto lens from my 35mm. miniature camera to fit it on my 16mm. movie camera. On the cine camera's visual focuser the results look fine. But what magnification will I be getting using this lens on 16mm. film? H. A. Wallace, ACL Bulawayo. S. Rhodesia The magnification of a given lens used with a given film size may be determined easily through the following formula: R equals i/o. In this formula, "R" is the number of times of enlargement, "i" the size of image and "o" the size of object, in linear dimensions.
