OTHER HAND CAMERAS.

There are many other excellent makes of hand cameras of which space will not permit more than a casual mention. The " Wizard," of which the long-focus pattern is shown by Fig. 672, and the " Premo " may be alluded to as respectively hand some and strongly-made instruments of American manufacture. The " Challenge " hand cameras (Lizars') are all of sound and serviceable construction. The The Shew focal plane " Reflector " and the well-known " Nit " cameras enjoy a large measure of popularity. The Thornton Pickard " Automan " models possess the novel feature of opening out to the infinity focus by simply pressing an outside but ton. The Busch " Freewheel " cameras, primarily intended for use with roll films, allow the insertion of glass plates in holders in front of the film without the necessity of moving the latter. In addi tion, there is a winding-back arrangement for the film, so that focussing may be clone, if desired, for each exposure, on either plates or films, without disturbing the camera. With the " Miral " Reflex

(Talbot and Earner); the Underwood " Foldette " ; the " Primus,'' " Carbine," and " Cameo " ; the " Teb " ; the Lancas ter " Filmograph," " Focoplane," " Invin cible," and " Planoreflex " • the " Cen tury " ; the " Sickle " ; and the " Dall meyer," this notice of the principal makes and descriptions of hand cameras at present obtainable must perforce be closed. An endeavour has been made to make it thoroughly comprehensive, while excluding the cheaper patterns and those which are simply copies of standard de signs, possessing no distinctive feature of interest. Those cameras, also, intended for special work have been omitted, as reference will be made to them elsewhere.
