APPENDIX I
TYPES OF AMATEUR MOVIE CAMERAS
For the facts here given the author is indebted to Walter Efans, acknowledged expert in this field.
Two types of moving picture cameras and projectors are now being marketed by the leading manufacturers of amateur motion picture equipment. They are defined by the film width used, as 16 millimeter and 8 millimeter.
The 8 Millimeter for the Amateur
For the home movie enthusiast, whose efforts will be confined to taking scenes of his children, or family, vacation trips, and similar pictures, the 8 mm. would be the natural choice. The light weight of 8 mm. cameras (i!/2 lb. average) increases its attractiveness for hiking, fishing trips, and other trips. The economy of the 8 mm. camera itself is an important consideration. There is also the substantial saving of film cost, 8 mm. film costing approximately one third of the price of 16 mm. film. Logically more film would be used by an 8 mm. camera owner, unhampered by the greater cost of operating a 16 mm. camera. Hence, the dividends in pleasure derived from his hobby would be greater to the owner of the 8 mm. equipment, providing this type satisfies his requirements. The principal of the limitations of the 8 mm. should be mentioned also : i.e. the simplicity of design of the camera limits the effects obtained, and the maximum screen size limits the audience to whom it may be shown. Among the better known makes in the 8 mm. classification are the following:
Eastman Cine 8 Keystone
Bell & Howell Filmo 8 Paragon
Agfa-Ansco Univex
