Last year, if you’ll pardon ’ the personal intrusion, I gave my own mother a simple little camera on her birthday. At first, she jvas frankly skeptical... She had never used a camera, always relying-on riiy sometimes unreliable self. She ’ Was sure, she would never master | that Camera. I . . Now it goes with her everywhere, much to our mutual joy. , v To some folks, I wouldn't dream of giving a came'ra; They’re not enough interested in other folks’^and places and life in general to get any fun out of it. But there are others'—the major­ ity—to whom a camera would mean much. ’ ■ What kind of camera? It depends entirely on the kind of person Who is . tr/receive it. Every youngster should have a charice at a camera, but only of the simplest, most inexpensive sort. By “inexpensive” I mean cam­ eras-costing from, say, one to five dollars. They should bo of any of the standard makes, rising film available everywhere. Of course, if you have a young friend who has shown moVo than average interest in picture making and has Outgrown bls simple little l>ox ramprn, you can -proyldo vast happiness fiy. praaentlrig him—or hor--: with a-be tier camera; Onca you got above tho five to ton' dollar rlaMs, the variety of camornH to hpihad bewildering/ Of recent years there has boon a tremendous Increase In the one of /ypcnlled “pro- ......................_. ............,... ... • eision” cameras *— small cameras, • beautifully made and’equipped With ‘ all manner of useful gadgets. Their i leniesi are masterpieces, thei_rj^- i justments more accurate than many a professional studio camera. Nat- , urally, they cost money, plenty of i ;money. 'Beginningat.aboUt $25, the ‘ prices of these miniature cameras t range on up and up and up. IF you’re i really anxious to spend a hundred dollars on a camera, you’ll have no trouble at all. However, you can stay in the general neighborhood of > ,. _ fifty dollars arid get some amazingly beautiful cameras. By “beautiful” I rijean something so expertly design •ed and constructed that there’s sheer delight in handling it. Many Of the miniature, precision cameras use very smriii-BiSp film. The idea is that the small pictures^ * are kept as records, while enla^gdir*/ ments of the best shots are Used by the proud owners to show what they've been doing. Modern, fine-grain film, by the way, makes this procedure possible. You need ndt, of course, consider tho miniature camera in your gift hunting. For the average person you Can select a cathera With a reason-, ably good lens—one that’s rated at f.0.3 Or even f.4.5—and uses a film btg enough so that enlargements are^ not always necessary. The. famed ''post-card Size” camera is a favor-^ Itb and will probably remain so. There’s a reason. f If it Ran boon several-years since you last looked at cameras, shop Abound just for tho/fun of it. You’ll discover that things have been hap* penfng, • ' .. . JOHN VAN GUiLDER. .
