him in getting good exposures
every time.
The home movie fan might
already be equipped with a

outfit. An exposure meter, out
fits for titles and film editing,
a tripod, a carrying case, or
even a few rolls of film will

For those who cannot or will
not make their own pictures,
beautiful color reels in 3-D,
with over 400 viewmaster reels
to choose from, are available.
They can be enjoyed with a
