EASTMAN VIEW No. 1

IMPROVED MODEL OF EMPIRE STATE

For years there has been no radical change in View Cameras. The Empire State camera had seemed to meet all requirements, and it certainly gave good value and satisfaction.

However we started an investigation of the View Camera situation some time ago, and it was found that improvements could be made, and by the perfection of our factory organization and the running through of large lots, a camera fully equal to the old Empire State, from the standpoint of service and efficiency, could be supplied to advantage.

As a result we now offer the Eastman View No. 1, an Improved Model of Empire State, and anyone who is in the market for a substantial, reliable view camera at low cost, will find this of exceptional value for the money.

The appearance of this camera is quite novel. It is finished in mission style with metal parts oxidized, and black bellows.

It has no complications, but is built for practical service, and its various adjustments are such as to work conveniently and easily.

It has double extensions and both front and back are actuated by rack and pinion, so that the camera may be focused from either end, and the back can be racked up as close to the front as desired. This provides for the use of lenses of the widest angle. The camera has rising and falling front, actuated by rack and pinion, and this can be locked solidly at any point by merely pushing in the pinion. The front board is removable and is large enough to accomodate any lens.

Both horizontal and vertical swings are provided, and the back is reversible and furnished with a vertical cut-off board, so that two negatives may be made on one plate, if desired.

A strap handle and plumb level are supplied and an automatic bellows support which prevents sagging of the bellows at any time.

EASTMAN VIEW No. 2

IMPROVED MODEL OF EMPIRE STATE

All our experience in view camera making, all the information that we have been able to collect, of the needs of the view camera worker, have been put into the proposition of providing in this new model a view camera as near to perfection as human ingenuity can devise.

It has all the good points of the famous old Empire State, with important additional features which leave nothing to be desired in view camera work, however exacting it may be.

The camera is constructed with the idea of providing the greatest possible solidity and strength throughout. The extensions are extra thick, the standard is very large and will furnish an absolutely rigid support for the heaviest lenses. Corners are dovetailed and reinforced by brass angle pieces, and the metal parts are all made of the best quality of brass, fully lacquered.

The front board is removable and very large. The rising and falling front is actuated by rack and pinion, as are both the horizontal and vertical swings. The camera can be focused from both front and rear by rack and pinion, so that the back can be racked up as close to the front as desired. Thus lenses of the widest angle can be used. A sliding tripod block is provided so that the camera can always be supported directly above the tripod or the weight distributed, as the operator may wish.

The back is reversible, a plumb level and strap handle are supplied and both horizontal and vertical cut-off boards are furnished so that four different negatives can be made on one plate if desired. The bellows of this camera is made of genuine leather and a spring arrangement working automatically prevents it from sagging at any time.

The method of locking extensions is very convenient, not by means of the old-fashioned, long threaded screw, but by a specially constructed device which locks firmly by merely being pushed in and given a quarter turn. The back extension, which is detachable, in addition to this device is further strengthened by two clamp catches which hold it absolutely rigid.

The camera is made of hand-polished mahogany, with exception of the extensions, which are of cherry on account of its greater strength.

PREMO FILM PACK TANK

Those who use the Premo Film Pack need never give a thought to development, for if they will use the Premo Film Pack Tank, they can absolutely know that every pack they expose is certain to be perfectly developed, provided they follow the simple directions for use of the tank. This means that the merest beginner, without any need of skill or help, can get as good results in development as the most expert photographer.

For the tank is simplicity itself. It requires no experience, no lengthy manipulation in a close dark-room. And we recommend the tank system to the most careful workers as being infinitely simpler than the older method and producing results superior to those which can be obtained by the most painstaking tray development.

The Premo Film Pack Tank consists of two pieces--a metal receiver or cage for the films, and a tank with cover for the developing fluid. The entire outfit is self-contained and can be easily carried in a corner of a suitcase.

The cage is divided into twelve compartments--in the 5 x 7 size, six--each accommodating one film. As the film is taken from the pack it is held between the thumb and fingers, slightly bent from top to bottom, and slipped into its respective compartment. When all the compartments are filled, the cage is placed in tank, which has been previously filled with developer, the top replaced and the films left to develop for a certain specified time. No further attention is necessary except to turn the tank end for end, several times during the progress of development.

At the expiration of the full time, open the tank, take out the cage, remove films, place them in a tray of water for a moment, then transfer to the fixing bath. Development is completed. Rinse out cage and tank and set them aside.

The operation of removing films from the pack and loading the cage is done, of course, in a darkened room by the light of a ruby lamp. During the day any darkened closet will suffice, at night any dark room in which the shades are drawn will answer. To load the films in cage will take only two or three minutes, and as soon as the top is placed on tank it may be brought out into any light and left until development is completed. And night is really an ideal time to develop films, as they can be fixed and washed in a short time and will dry over night, being all ready to print from in the morning.

If it is desired to develop less than a dozen films, one merely removes from his pack as many films as have been exposed, places them in the cage, and proceeds in the same manner as described above.

The cage of the No. 1 Tank is slightly different from that shown in the illustration, but the method of loading is the same and, of course, the results are just as dependable.

EASTMAN PLATE TANK

In the Eastman Plate Tank, plates may be developed in the same manner and with the same assurance of excellent results as may films developed in the Premo Film Pack Tank. The theory of construction is precisely the same, with of course such differences as are necessary because of the physical differences between films and plates.

It consists of a metal solution cup, a cage for holding twelve (or less) plates and a loading fixture for loading plates into the cage. In the 3-1/4 x 4-1/4, 3-1/4 x 5-1/2 and 4 x 5 sizes, the cage of plates may be developed in a Premo Film Pack Tank, so that one using a Premo that takes films or plates and having a Premo Film Pack Tank needs only to purchase the cage and loading fixture of the plate tank for the development of his plates, an advantage in economy. It is thus apparent that the owner of a Premo plate camera can not only use films or plates in his camera with equal facility, but he can also avail himself of the advantages of tank development with either medium.

BROWNIE ENLARGING CAMERA

Those who use Premo Cameras up to and including the 4 x 5 size will find that with one of these cameras it's just as easy to make first-class enlargements as it is to print on Velox paper. In fact, the two processes are very much the same excepting that, in ordinary printing, the negative and paper are in contact, while in enlarging, the paper is at some distance from the negative, with a lens in between. The Improved Brownie Enlarging Camera consists of a light-tight cone with attachments to hold a negative at the small end, and a sheet of Bromide or Velox paper at the other. They are collapsible and made in two sections the lens support holding them firmly together when in use.

No. 2 Brownie Enlarging Camera, for 5 x 7 enlargements from 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 negatives $2.00

No. 3 Ditto, for 6-1/2 x 8-1/2 enlargements from 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 negatives 3.00

No. 4 Ditto, for 8 x 10 enlargements from 4 x 5 negatives (will also take 3-1/4 x 5-1/2 negatives) 4.00

BROWNIE ILLUMINATOR

A very convenient device, providing a strong, even light by which to print with the Brownie Enlarging Camera. It is collapsible, but when set up, has the form of a half-round, light-proof box with socket through which is inserted an electric light bulb.

The inner walls of this box are white and act as a reflector when the light is turned on. At the end is a ground glass, which diffuses the light, so that by placing negative end of the enlarging camera in contact with this glass and turning on the electricity, an excellent steady printing light is obtained.

Brownie Enlarging Camera Illuminator $3.50
