heart, She was wondering whetle

pictures of moor, heath and river
were stamped upon ler memory for
life.

WHAT PRICE LENS?
You don't need an expensive camera fora picture like this.
T IKE owning a high-powered de
.L, luxe automobile, there is pleas-
ure In owning a de luxe camera with
en ultra -fast lens. Whatever one's
skill as a photographer, one points
with pride to the f.2 or the 4.3.6 on
the diaphragm scale and properly
boasts of the camera's great cepa-
hility and of the variety of pictures
which it can take.
No question but that these expen-
sive cameras with lenses allowing a
maximum aperture of Y,2, 1.3.6 or
4,4.6 have range and versatility that
greatly increase opportunities in
picture -taking and are a source of
much satisfaction. And there is no
doubt that in the hands of an ad-
vanced enthusiast seeking technical
perfection they are a superior tool.
But if you are unable to boast of
owning such a Ane camera, don't get
an inferiority complex. You can
boast, and justifiably so, of the flue,
pictures you can get with the ordi-
nary camera At 4.8.3, or even with a
simple meniscus lens box camera
with but one atop at around 1.11.
You may regret that yon are not able
to take action shote at night of a
theater, performance or in a night
club or stop a diving beauty in mid-
air. But do not forgot that many are
the .prize-winning photographs that
have been made with ordinary Cam-
eras, box cameras not excepted. You
must concede that favorable light
conditions are required for your
picture -taking, but remember that
favorable light conditions are not
uncommon phenomena. And dull,
cloudy days, the diminished light of
early morning and later afternoon
and deep shade are•not, in these days
of fast flim, by any means unfavor-
able light conditions for an f.6.3
lens.
Beautiful photographs aro taken
with no leas at all—with a pin-hole
camera. Again the owner of a camera
with an f,2 lens more frequently
uses apertures equivalent to those
in ordinary Camerae because, for
most of hie picture -taking, he does
not need the f.2 aperture. As with a
high-powered automobile, be has the
speed When needed.
Remember that very poor pictures
can be taken with costly cameras
and very line pictures with lhexpen•
sive dements. If you know What your
tamers will do and how to use it,
whatever the speed of the lane may
be, yell will always have plenty of
good pictures to boast about.
