 so that photographs can be taken all

 has    .been specially designed to clipon the back of the camera.
  The lens in the Ful-Vue camera
has an aperture of f/l I and mav be
focussed to give a sharp picture at
any dlstance. The scale on the lens
mount is calibrated in yards. After
estimating the distance of the subject
rrom the camera rotate the lens mount
to bring the engraved index mark
opposite the required distance. For
example,  - 2_ yards, 3-5 yards, or 6yards to infinity (Fig. l),-but iemem-
ber that the distance must be esti-
mated in yards and not in feet as on
many other cameras.                            Frc. l.  Adjusting the focus.
