Here is a camera with the light weight and compactness, the ease of loading and operating of the original Premoette Jr., but with an equipment which places it on a par in capabilities, with the largest, most expensive amateur cameras made.
It is fitted with the Compound shutter with cable release, attaining a maximum speed of 1/300 of a second in the No. 1 and 1/250 in the No. 1A size and the Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens f.6.3. This lens was made expressly for hand camera work and combines depth, definition and speed to a remarkable degree. This equipment enables one to work under adverse conditions that the ordinarily equipped camera could not meet as, for instance snap shot work in dull lights, fast indoor portraiture, and the like. And the remarkable sharpness and depth of the negatives make them suitable for enlarging up to any size desired.
Either size can be carried in any pocket or in a lady's hand-bag. Thus, however cramped for room, one may be certain he can take along a Premoette Jr., and make as good pictures of anything he cares about, as can be made with any camera.
Aside from the difference in size, the two models are practically identical. Focusing is provided for by a series of three focusing slots in which the standard is inserted as occasion requires. The focusing block on the No. 1 folds over to permit closing the camera; in the No. 1A this is not necessary.
In keeping with its high grade equipment, we have finished this camera in the best possible manner. It is covered with genuine Persian Morocco, and the bellows is of the finest quality black leather, giving it a rich, attractive appearance.
In a word, this is the finest, most capable, handsomest small camera you ever saw—a marvel of compactness and efficiency.
