FILM FOR YAS}.IICA HAIF- I 7





                           The Yashica HALF.l7 uses 35mm film
                                  in standard cassettes of 2O or 36 ex.
                               posures, but an exciting new format
                                gives double the number of exposures
                                   per foad-4Oand 72, respectively. Either
                                black and white or color-negative or
                            transparency-may be used, yielding
                                   exceptionally sharp prints and brillianfly
                                   colorful slides.

Negative size is LBx24 mm, with enlargementsand
projected slides comparable in every way to full-
f rame 35 mm. While many processors automatically
mount sf ides in standard 2x2 cardboard mounts
which flt 35 mm slide projectors, it would be wise
to specify such mounting when returning a cassette
to your dealer for processing.

Carefully pull out the fitm
          leader from the cassette and
          thread the end into the slot
          of Take-up Spool.





        Make certain the perforations
           in the film are threaded on
         the sprocket teeth.

Under Erposure
     When the needle swings into the
      upper part of the red zone (under

       rect exposure.
