Visitors to Fair Take Pictures' in Many Languages
By IRVING DESFOR
Of tin Auoclited rrn
COLOGNE, West Germany
Covering Photokina, world'i
largest photo fair, is mainly a
matter of legwork. There are
12 tremendous halls and four
mezzanines to go through. One
mathematically Inclined col
league, using a pedometer,
clocked 23 miles in two days
of looking.
Most of the counters are
manned by linguists who can
answer questions in two or
three languages besides- Ger
man. Pamphlets are usually
printed in several languages
also.
English Is probably the sec
ond language most often spok
en and- printed here, but it
was still a habit bf this colum
nist to struggle with my faul
ty German phaseoogy only to
be answered in very good
English.
The term "half frame cam
era" is gradually coming into
more general use as camera
fans become more familiar
with small format photogra
phy. Not too long ago, the
3Smm camera was the small
camera. Now it has become
too big and bulky for the av
erage camera fan to lug
around.
The new small format cam
eras use standard 35mm film
but take two pictures in the
space of a single picture made
by the normal 35mm camera.
Therefore the term "half
frame camera." The new cam
eras slip into a man's pocket
or a lady's handbag with ease
and make 'it easy to. carry a
camera at all times.
At Photokina we saw the
first single lens reflex half
frame camera. It also took in
terchangeable lenses or a
zoom lens. However, the Olym
pus Pen F docs not have the
traditional pentaprism look of
the usual single lens reflex
camera.
That's because of an ingeni
ous internal design in the
mirror which hinges and

moves from the side. The mir
ror flips sideways and returns
instantly instead of going up
and down.
The Pen F has a standard
f1.8, 38mm lens. The inter
changeable lenses range from
25mm f4 up to 100mm f3.5
and include also an f3.5 zoom
lens with 50-90mm range. The
camera has a rotary metal fo
cal plane shutter with strobe
synchronization up to 1500 of
a second.
Another new half frame
camera is the Ricoh Auto Half
with electric eye automation
or manual operation. Its fea
ture is a spring wound motor
which shoots pictures in se
quence and advances the film
at the same time. It has a
25mm f2.8 lens.
Some of the 35mm single
lens reflex cameras had un
usual engineering principles
which made a talking point
and attracted attention.
A French camera, the Malik
Reflex, and the Japanese Top
con HE Super, both came up
with a cadmium sulfide cell
behind the reflex mirror to
read the light inside the cam
era for automatic exposure
control.
The Malik has a Zoomalik
f2.8 lens, 3575mm range.
The Topcon RE is available
with an f1.4 58mm lens.
Another Japanese camera,
the Konica Domirex, did not
use a moving mirror in its
single lens reflex system. In
stead it had an internal dot
mirror prism through which
the light passed for both view
ing the image and for record
ing on the film. The camera
had an f2.4 lens, 55mm, with
electric eye automation.
Getting away from cameras
and wandering in the home
movie equipment area, I came .
across a plastic movie reel
with a simple device to catch
and hold the film at the start.
A red plastic "mouth" slid
up and down from the center
of the reel to its outer edge
along the path which nar
rowed toward the center,
causing the mouth to close
as it got toward the center.
At the outer edge, the mouth
was open and it's a simple mat
ter to insert the end of the
film into It. As the fingers

slid the mouth back towards
the center, it closed, holding
the film firmly.
In reverse, any pull on the
film would bring the red
mouth device back toward the
edge of the reel where it
would open wide and release
the film.
I was also impressed with
the neat stacking of colorful
plastic film containers like a
row of library books. A slight
touch and any container would
swivel open to reveal the
film inside. It would be a
neat way to keep the family
home movie films.
