FILM PREMO No. 1
The Film Premos are designed for those who want reliable, simply operated cameras for all-around amateur photographic work.
They are designed to be as convenient and easy of manipulation as possible, and without reference to the requirements of the specialists, are fitted only with the simple adjustments sufficient to enable the average photographer, whether experienced or not, to secure good pictures under all ordinary conditions.
Working with this idea in mind, we are able to offer these cameras not only at moderate prices, but for compactness and light weight, for ease of loading and unloading, the Film Premos have a considerable margin over any other type of cameras. This fact may be easily verified by comparative weights and dimensions and investigation of the Premo Film Pack system used in this camera. (See page [4]).
As convenient and low priced as these cameras are however, the very first consideration in their construction has been the quality of results which must be produced. And the lens and shutter equipment and the film used in this camera offer the assurance that the Film Premos will produce as good pictures as any camera that can be purchased, aside from those fitted with anastigmat lenses.
The shutter of the Film Premo No. 1 is the Kodak Ball Bearing with bulb release—the finest type of the single valve shutter, and the regular lens is our celebrated Planatograph, each one thoroughly tested. This equipment is the best to be had outside of the anastigmats and is amply efficient for the general run of amateur photography. The film used in the Premo Film Pack is from the same stock as the Eastman N. C.—the best in the world.
In addition to the double lens fittings these cameras are also offered with single meniscus achromatic lenses for those who prefer compact folding cameras requiring but little adjustment of focus for objects at different distances.
Film Premos No. 1 are very attractive in appearance; they are made of seasoned wood, with bed and back panel of aluminum, covered with seal grain leather, and metal parts are beautifully nickeled.
