When you take a picture, you want that picture
 to re-create for you the things you saw when you
 took  it.  Stereo photography  is best able to do
 this.  Looking  at a stereo slide you are back again
 at a favorite  vacation  spot, you are again
pre_sent at some treasured moment  of the past,
and people seem almost to talk.   It  is an exciting
and  re\ rarding  experience -   rir?beflevable
when experienceu  for  the  first  time,
This  delightful  and  thrilling  kind  of  picture
making should not be reserved for those few who
can buy an expensive camera.    I have  felt
that a camera could be designed that would be
excellent  in every way  including   its  lenses,
and yet  sell at a popular  price.
In  the KIN-DAR     I  believe  I have accomplished
this.   It  is a fine camera  in every way -ln
appearance,  in ease of  handling,  in  rang.e of
settings, and in the magnificent  stereoscopic
                     pictures  it produces. fts lenses
                    are the well known Steinheil
                   Cassars, made by the  first
                company ever to manufacture
                   photographic  lenses.
                 The KIN-DAR   is inexpensive,
                     not becau,se of any cheap-
                    ening, but because of careful
                 and advanced design
                    Ieading to real manufacturing
                  economies.

DEPTH  OF  FIELD

The sharpest part  of any picture
is the object focused upon.  Objects
both nearer and farther  from  the
camet&, within  a certain range,
depending upon the lens opening being
used, will  also be acceptably sharp.
This  range  of  distances  is called    'Depththe           of  Field'.
To read the depth of  field lor  anji-selii"F,?aE+he   two=-    ---
distances on the focusing dial opposite the dots for the lens
opening being used. For example, if  f:8  is being used the
near distance will be i4dicated by the dot at 8 on the left side
of the index mark while the far distance will be indicated
by the dot at f8 on the right side of the index mark.  Every-
thing between these two distances will be acceptably sharp.
If   it  is desired to include distant objects such as scenery
as well as near objects, the greatest possible depth of field                                                            'INF.'will be obtained by setting the focusing dial so that
is at the dot for the lens opening being used. The near
distance can then be read opposite the conesponding dot
to the left of the index mark.www.orphancameras.com
