Pro-Communist troops were reported .i I m p ro v e m e n ts G r ea te r T h a n Advances in Ph otography New York - IUPD - Improve ments on previous advances rather than introduction, of any startlinly new develop ments prevailed in the photo graphic world during the year just ended, and the same trend seems likely to continue in 1961. . Photographic highlights of the year included: Smaller accessories, espe cially light sources. The jelly-; bean sized AG (all-glass) flash bulb at last came into its own with production of reflectors and small cameras especially designed to use the tiny bulb unveiled by General Electric more than-two years, ago. .,- Movie photographers shared In this trend. Sylvania intro duced the biggest advance in floodlamps in years, the powwi erful sun gun, which packs light equal to four reflector flood bulbs into a single unit resembling in size and shape an electronic flash unit. And GE came up with a miniature ohotoflood bulb, the DAN. Four of them fit on a movie light bar less than 12 inches long. Sound Moves Forward Sound for 8mm movies bounded forward. Fairchild introduced an 8mm sound recording camera using mag netic-striped film, and a sound projector to show the films. Other sound projectors, or at tachments for silent projec tors, appeared, and 8mm sound got another strong push when Eastman Kodak came out with its first 8mm mag netic sound projector and es tablished a striping service for adding sound tracks to 8mm film. Viewing of finished pictures almost Immediately after they are taken became a reality with introduction of Polaroid 10-second film. This ended the necessity of waiting a full minute for development of the print. At the same time, the super-speed 3000 type Pola roid film was improved with better sharpness and less grain. Polaroid demonstrated a two-minute color film but said It planned to improve the pro cess further before making the material generally avail able. The company may an nounce this spring what the target date for distribution will be. More Automatic Slide projectors became more and more automatic. Push-button remote control extended from simple se ntience projection of color slides to reverse motion so that viewers could take an other look at a previously pro jected picture, and some pro jectors even added remote control focusing of the lens. Cameras beenmc more auto matic, too, with new models of electric-eye automatic ex posure control, some of which nave automatic shutters as well as diaphragms Polaroid, for example, came out with its first electric-eve camera. A trend toward motorized 35mm cameras appeared. These em ploy built-in motors to ad vance the film and cock the shutter, so that rapid series of exposures may be made. Shutters themselves became faster-up to 1 l.OOQth second) 1 leaf-type units, and 0 12. 000th In focal plane. I Many 35mm cameras grew biescr to accommodate the' host of automatic features be-' Ing put into them. Some man-: ad to retain clean, simple lines nevertheless. One of these was the Argus Autronic, an exceptionally easy to ope rate automatic 35mm camera. Among its unusual features is an exposure ' button that is pushed in toward the user's face as he holds the camera, instead of sideways or down ward. This goes far toward eliminating camera movement and resultant blurred pictures. Lenses Blossom Zoom lenses blossomed ev erywhere, particularly on movie projectors. They appear likely to become the standard projection lens, and the trend is spreading to include slide projectors as well. Zoom pro jection lenses make it easy to adjust the picture size to the screen without . moving the projector or the screen. They do have two drawbacks - un less of extremely high quality, they may hot give as sharp an image as a conventional lens; and they cost more. Exposure meters became more sensitive. At the big West German photo exhibi tion, the Photokina, last fall Gossen demonstrated a new meter, the Lunasix, so sensi tive it will measure moon light. The Lunasix is expected to become available in the United States by midyear. Its superior light-measuring abil ity comes only at a price, how ever, a price likely to be in the neighborhood of $50 to $60. Processing became simpler. Ilford introduced Monophen, a combination developer and fixer designed for one-stage processing of Ilford. films but usable with excellent results with a wide variety of other brands, including Ansco, Ko dak, Agfa and Perutz. Cormac Chemical added to its line of monobath solutions for both film and paper, put out a dry ing solution, and put together kits, called Unikits, that con tain a developing tank, chemi cals and everything else the photographer need for quick processing in one compact outfit.
