Dear Fellow-Photographer,

‘Our heartiest congratulations on your wise choice! In deciding on the Ventura
deluxe, you have selected a camera which owes its great popularity to its
obvious advantages.
As a handsome combination of intelligent design and solid workmanship, the
Ventura deluxe may claim in appearance as well as performance, to be o
credit to the Agfa Camera Works. It is a well-constructed camera, thoroughly
jable and efficient, as you will soon find out for yourself. You may look
forward to satisfactory results with every confidence. The favourite size of 2x2
in. does away with the often difficult choice between horizontal and vertical
pictures.
The short focal length, a result of the square shape, has the considerable
advantage of great depth of field. Thanks to the comparatively large size of
the image, distant objects in pictures made by the Ventura deluxe are very
clear, which is a great advantage (particularly in landscapes), while the greater
depth of field is invaluable for close-ups. A camera with a greater depth of
field will always prove more suitable and reliable for taking snapshots of
moving objects, for instance, of playing children, etc. So, in this field of photo-
graphy you can be sure of success with a Ventura deluxe. It will help you
greatly to study and practise trom the Depth of Field Table.
