Appendix Eastman Cine AGFA Ansco Bell & Howell Filmo Zeizz Victor Paillard Bolex Pockette Simplex Prices of the simpler type of \6 mm. camera average around $50.00. When special lenses, tripod, exposure meters, and special effects are desired, it is easily possible to expend $500 on a really complete outfit. The 16 mm. projectors are priced from about $75 to $400 for silent picture projection. Sound-on film 16 mm. talking picture projectors are about double the price of silent machines. Here, again, the interchangeable lenses and the screen used influence the ultimate cost to the amateur. A. Simple 16 mm. cameras require: (a) Magazine loading — no film threading (b) Set lens exposure (c) Wind the spring (d) Press operating lever B. Advanced 16 mm. cameras have added features which include : (a) Variable speed (b) Turret, variable lenses (c) Critical focusing (d) Reflex finder (e) External long film magazines (f) Electric motor drive (g) Hand crank, double exposure or lap-dissolve device (h) Single frame attachment for animations (i) Masks, footage counters, and other special professional effects.
