They also use a lot of film. "Some of the time they pay reasonable prices for the equip- ment and services they buy but very often, they don't, " says free-lance photographer Free- man Patterson writing in Can- adian Consumer magazine, pub- lished by Consumers Associat- ion of Canada. Mr. Patterson is well-qualif- ied to offer advice to the camera consumer and here are some tips and suggestions from a profes- sional to assist the amateur in getting what he wants without ruining his financial standing. Most camera lines on the market are of excellent quality but the prices can vary. The 35 mm single-lens reflex camera, for example, is about the most popular on the Can- adian market and the prices fluctuate from less that $200 to almost $600 and this is without the lens. The question the camera -consumer should ask is: "For my use, is this huge price differential merited?" For the snapshooter" there are Bayfield tax rate up Village council Monday night set the 1970 tax rate at 10.0.5 mills residential and 106.5 com- mercial, an increase of 7.68 for public school supporters. Reeve E . W . Oddleifson quest- ioned the method of arriving at the assessment factor used to calculate education taxes which have increased about $10, 000., or 13.95 mills. Mr. Oddleifson said the prov- incial department of assessment would be asked to clarify the situation which her termed "out of line." He pointed out Bayfield was able to cut the 13.95 mills in- crease to 7.68 by reducing its own rate. The total assessment for the village last year was $745, 000. Individual property assessments range from $500 to $5, 000. The Rev. Richard E. Martin, from Pinto, •Maryland, will be al the Zurich Mennonite Church do a preaching mission from Sun. day, Mary 17, (to Wednesday, May 20, each evening at 8:00 p.m. Rev. Martin was pastor of Salem Mennonite, Elide, Ohio, for 20 years and is presently pastor of the Pinto church, Pinto, Mary- land.' He has wide experience in the ministry and has preached in churches across America from coast to coast. He serves also as president of Shenandoah Manu. facturing Co., a poultry equip- ment manufacturing plant at Harrisonburg, Virgina. You are invited to share in this ministry during these days. much less expensive cameras that are extremely popular and are the essence of operating ease However, such cameras are built with limited uses in mind. The amateur who in interested in photography as a hobby would be well advised to go directly to a model in the lower price range of the better cameras. The cheaper. less versatile caul - eras are not intended as training or teaching instruments for the more versatile models. And remember -- if you want ver- satility. in a camera and lots of fun, buy a camera which per- mits you to change lenses. There is no reason to buy the lens that is on the camera body, if you don't want it. For ex- ample, most cameras came equipped with very fast standard lenses and you will pay more for these than a f 3.5 lens. "As a working professional, " says Mr. Patterson, "I find the slow- er lens covers nearly all the sit- uations I am called upon to photograph." If you have one camera and want as few extra lenses as pos- sible, you should consider set- tling on just two: a standard focal length macro lens (which takes overall scenes, yet permits you to do closeup shots of flow- ers and the like) and a zoom lens which covers from 85mm .to 210 mm. The zoom lens allows you to move closer to, or farther away from, the objects you are photographing without moving your body. Wide-angle lenses are limited in use, and an amateur shuoulci not be in a big hurry to get one. Cameras with built-in light meters area mixed blessing. minesionsonemeas St. Peter's.

A built-in meter is no more an infallible guide to ex- posure than a separate one --the only advantage of the built-in meter is simply that it reduces by one the number of items you are carrying. When you buy a camera make certain that you get a copy of the warranty. The warranty and the assurance of good repair service from the manufacturer (or his agent) are as important as the camera itself. Under no circumstances should you buy a new camera at any price with- out then).. It pays to buy film in quantity and to ask for a discount. If a store won't give you a progres- sive discount on five or more rolls, don't buy, because anoth- er store will. When you buy a lot of film at once, pop it into the deep freeze, where it will keep practically forever. Film that is slightly out-of- date is usually offered at greatly reduced prices and is quite often a good buy. This is especially true of slow and medium -speed film and is less than six months past expiry date. And remember once you buy it, keep it frozen until use. Never accept poor prints from a processor-- any processor -- provided you have given him good negatives or transparencies to start with. You are paying for good quality, so make sure you get it.
