The Optical Magic Lantern Journal and Photographic Enlarger. 1K. MORE TESTIMONY: FILM EMULSION PREFERRED TO GLASS. Dr. Thresh, M.A., Ph.D., L.R.C.P., President of the Leeds Camera Club, said lately from the Chair at a meeting of the Club :— “Y have no other words than praise for Eastman’s Film. On my last holiday I made over 300 exposures, and only had four failures. The emulsion was the finest I ever saw, giving the greatest contrast with truest values of half-tones and gradations. I only wish I could have the same emulsion on glass.” FILM THREE YEARS OLD, UNDER DIFFERENT TRYING © TEMPERATURES GIVES VERY GOOD RESULTS. “CLANRICARDE GarpbENS, LonpDoN. “The films I took on my Himalayan journey were used under very unfavourable conditions, and were subjected to every alternation of heat and cold. The best results were attained with two spools of film which had a curious history. They must have left England in 1890. They were with Mr. G. S. Robertson all through his year’s travel in Kafiristan. He gave them to me and I carried them over glaciers and to high altitudes in 1392, and exposed them at various elevations. They were developed in England in 1893, and gave very good results. “WW, M. Conway ” (M.LC.E.). E A STM A Photographic Materials Co. Ltd., . 115-117 Oxford St., London, W. PARIS: 4 Place Vendome.
