Decisions! By Holt Confer I really wanted to title this column, "When Your Eyes Are Bigger Than Your Wal- let," but I was certain the newspaper folks would have had difficulty getting all that on top of the page. Neverthe- less, that title is most appro- priate to what I'm about to discuss. As soon as anyone learns I write a photography column, I begin to get asked for ad- vicc -Now T cion'± real sn rl- giving advice, in fact I'm rather flattered that anyone would take the time to ask my opinion on anything. And that word "opinion" is very important.'; Any 'advice I give is strict- ly my opinion based on per- sonal experience and sea- soned with my own brand of practical thinking. For example, the other day I stopped in a store and one of the folks working there began to question me about buying a new camera. The first question he asked was whether he should buy it at a local camera store or whether he should patronize one, of the many "discount" operations that advertise on the back pages of some of the better- circulated photo- graphy -publications. I tried to give • him both sides of that frequently asked question. From a neo- phyte's point of view, the local camera store is pro- bably the best place to go. Anyone just buying his first 35mm camera should be looking at as many of the name brands as possible, they willall look and feel dif- ferent, but somewhere along the line one of the models will suddenly make more sense because of the way it handles and because of its simplicity. You can't do that by phone. Additionally, if you're new at the picture -taking business, chances are there will be some questions that need answering after you make your .purchase. A local dealer should be able to han- dle those inquiries. The mail- order people are not usually amenable to answering your "how-to" questions. Now when you get to the point that yob' re reasonably knowledgeable about camera equipment and know precisely what you need and want, then dealing with a mail-order firm might be a consideration: The publica- tions carrying those mail- order ads have insisted recently that all those adver- tisers clean up their selling practice.' Some of the mail- order people were just a bit deceptive in their . descrip- tions at times, but as far as I can tell, those that didn't want to deal legitimately have been dropped from the advertising pages. But no matter where you get your first camera, it's my opinion (notice the word "opinion") that you should not get the standard 50mm Tens that normally conies with the camera. If you have a dealer who refuses to sell just the body, I'd recom- mend trying another dealer. As for lenses, I would strongly recommend your first lens be something close to 35mm to 70mm zoom. You'll discover, I suspect, that about 80 to 90 per cent of all the pictures you ever take will fall somewhere in this range of focal lengths. And that makes this type of lens a very smart buy, a little more expensive by $50 to $75, but well worth the extra cost. Now. when_ouget__to._the__. point where you want to add other lenses, unless you have very special applications in mind, such as sports or wild- life photography, or perklps architecture, don't be in a hurry to add lenses at the ex- treme focal lengths, Fisheye lenses and 1000mm lenses seem to have a certain charm about them, but after the conversation dies down, you're going to discover very few places where you can actually put them to practical use. Having had all these vari- ous lenses to experiment with at some time or other (that's one of the perks of being a photo columnist), when I had a fisheye lens and a 10000mm lens, I actually had to go out of my way to "invent" pictures to take. And often it was quite a job just finding applications that didn't appear to be totally contrived. In handling editorial pho- tography assignments all over the country, I carry a 21mm lens at the wide end and a 300mm lens at the tele- photo side. Those along with five lenses in between have done the job for me .covering a lot of case histories-. and trade magazine features. i suppose the bottom line to all this is buy the lenses you need, just make, certain you really need them. Crossroads -Feb. 1, 1984-Fage 7 Mainstream Canada The paperchase By W. RogerWorth The tax form that's due to arrive in the mail any day now is a prime example of what people operating smaller firms have to con- tend with on a daily basis. With the tax form, the first thing you'll notice is the weight. How, you may ask yourself, could any set of documents that weighs so much be as simple and un- complicated as the experts at Revenue Canada contend? Even before the envelope has been opened, you're probably thinking about visiting the nearest shopping centre tax kiosk to hire someone to complete the forms. The envelope feels in- timidating. On opening the package, there's a booklet explaining how simple it is to fill in the forms, together with a multi- colored, duplicate set of pa- pers that appears to require more than 25 pages of data. More intimidation. Then there's the very real consideration that you may actually lose money by not taking advantage of all the tax loopholes and deductions that may be available. In- deed, the forms not only look complicated, they are. Somehow, we've develop- ed a tax system that forces millions of Canadians to seek out tax -form preparers. Even the nation's account- ants are lobbying for a sim- pler system. But if the personal tax re- turn is intimidating for the individual, consider the challenges faced by indivi- duals operating small and medium-sized businesses. There are reports to federal and .provircial_sales tax departments. The Worker's Compensation Board needs information to plug into its computers. R,eyenug, Canada,, constantly needs data, as . well as money, and the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission forms have to be completed. A doxen or more federal, provincial or municipal agencies are seeking infor- mation on a regular or irreg- ular basis. The granddaddy, of all the government form senders, though, is Statistics Canada, whose headquarters should be renamed Red Tape City. In addition to regular infor- mation input from business, the department's employees are constantly dreaming up surveys. A lot, of the data, of course, comes from forms filled in by business. While many large com- panies are able to provide such information simply by pushing the correct button on a computer, most smaller firms cannot afford such computer programming lux- uries.. As a consequence, even the smallest of enter- prises are forced to spend at least five hours per week on the avalanche of govern- ment -oriented paperburden. Like the simple personal tax return, the government forms that go out to business RFTURN WITH IIS TO.., 6r ANII FISI1T?Newu FOR THIS BELOVED RADIO ACTRESS, The TITLE ROLE OF STELLA L1LLAS WAS THE CULMINATION OF AN OUTSTANDING CAREER IN SERIAL DRAMAS.

By not fol- lowing order, entrepreneurs face heavy fines and even jail. The point, of course, is that a simplified and less de- manding system of govern- ment -oriented paperburden is needed. For individuals, the tax - form red tape is a once a year event. But for people operating smaller firms, red tape is a frustrating daily ex- ercise that seems to be a waste of time and money. It shouldn't be so. SUPER BEAUTY HINT Tired ofmascara that lumps and bakes on your lashes? When the formula you use is a lash thickener or length- ener, or if your product is fresh and being' used for the first time, too much mascara may adhere to the wand and give you lashes that are spiky and stuck together. A simple remedy: before applying mascara, gently run the wand over a tissue, rotating it until the excess is removed. The tissue will ab- sorb the excess oil and mas- cara and will give you clean- er, fluffier lashes. If your mascara has thick- ened due to cold weather or loose cap, remove wand and run under warm water until brush is heated. Shake excess moisture over a tis- sue, reinsert into container, turn several times and re- move. Your mascarashould flow more smoothly )) AS A COMMUTER TO NEW YORK FROM,STOCKTON NEW JERSEY SHE maser) ONLY TWO BROAD- CASTS OF STELLA LY4LLA$ DURING ITS LONe RUN FROM 1937-1966!
