‘The Beacon camera has been developed
for you to obtain clear, sharp pictures—
either in the daytime or flash pictures at
night—with a minimum of effort.

‘While the negatives obtained from this
camera are 1%" x 1%", they may be en-
larged to almost any desired print size,
Your Photographie Dealer will advise you
as to the best size to order. The most pop-
ular sizes are 2%” x 3%” and 344” x 444".

It should also be noted that the capa-
bility of the lens in the Beacon Camera
is such that pictures and salon prints as
large as 8” x 10” and 11” x 14” can very
successfully be made from your better
negatives.

"two shutter speeds, “B” for time ex-
posures and “I” Instantaneous (1/50th
second) for snap shots may be selected as
required. The double element, color cor-
rected, fully coated lens system has an
aperture of F-11 and a focal length of

46 mm.
FILMS TO USE

Verichrome V127 or Plenachrome AS
are both very suitable for general out-
door and indoor pictures and are to be
recommended for their ease of use, as
well as being assurance against under or
over exposure.
