AMATEUR motion picture photography is now within the reach of everN'one. Adventuring with a movie camera today is no more expensive than maintaining a good radio set.
If you haven't invested in your own movie camera yet, a glance over the field will be of keen interest to .\ou. Before selecting a camera \ou wiU have to face the problem of deciding what size film you want to use. Do you want to take your pictures on standard film stock of the size used in all professional motion picture cameras, 35 mm., or will you use the ■smaller 16 mm. or even smaller 9 mm. size? The amount of your investment will depend upon this decision.
Naturally, there are advantages to the various sizes. Suppose you decide to use the highly popular 16 mm. size film. You will find a certain distinct saA'ing. There are sixteen pictures to a foot of standard 35 mm. film. .A foot of 16 mm. film carries forty pictures. In passing before the camera or projection machine lens one hundred feet of 16 mm. film

occupies the same time required by 250 feet of standard film. Thus 100 feet of 16 mm. film is the condensed equivalent of 250 feet of standard stock.
Eastman non-inflammable 16 mm. stock comes in himdred foot lengths, costing six dollars. This is the total expense of the film, since the initial cost covers the development of the reel and its reversal by a special process into positive for projection. Upon taking his movies, the amateur sends his film to one of the Eastman laboratories. The film is taken through a process of reversal so that the positive which is returned is the actual ribbon of film which was exposed in the camera.
The 9 mm. film, used in Pathex cameras and manufactured by the Pathex laboratories, has particular advantages of cheapness. This will be pointed out in the description of the Pathex camera in this article.
Suppose, however, that you decide to use standard 35 mm. film. Then you must have your negative developed and a positive print made.
