POCKET PREMO C
In choosing his photographic outfit the amateur is often undecided as to whether he should select a film or a plate camera. He knows that the film camera is more convenient, that it will load and unload in daylight, and as the films are much lighter and occupy less space than dry plates, he knows that the film camera is especially desirable for use at vacation time, when traveling, and on other occasions where light weight and the greatest convenience are necessary. On the other hand, he knows that the plate camera offers the advantage of ground glass focusing between each exposure—a very desirable feature to many as it insures absolutely sharp focus and does away with the estimating of distances.
The Pocket Premo C will settle such a question for anyone. This camera will take plates or daylight loading films just as the user chooses. One can be used just as easily as the other—plates by means of an ordinary double plate holder, and films in the Premo Film Pack Adapter. (See page [5]).
Thus in this camera are offered the daylight loading feature and all the other conveniences of films, together with the ground glass focusing feature of the plate camera. And the ground glass may be used for focusing before each exposure just as well when using films as when using plates.
The camera is equipped with an accurate focusing scale, so that it may be focused by scale if desired. You do not have to use the ground glass. But when you want it, it is always there. A rack and pinion attachment is supplied for ease in focusing.
These advantages are offered in a camera which is even lighter and more compact than the average purely film camera and which is so easy to operate that anyone can make good pictures with a Pocket Premo C from the start, without any previous experience. The Pocket Premo C is fitted with our Planatograph, the best rapid rectilinear lens that can be obtained, and the new Kodak Ball Bearing shutter with bulb release. With this lens working at f.8 and shutter with star-shaped leaves, the camera is very effective for general "snap-shot" work.
For the popular post card size, the 3A Pocket Premo C makes an outfit of unusual scope and capabilities at a moderate price. The camera is handsomely finished, covering is genuine leather, bellows is of red leather and metal parts are nickeled.
