camera at a moderate price, it is so carefully made and so simple to operate that it will produce remarkably good results for so inexpensive a camera. It is equipped with our regular Planatograph lens, each one carefully tested, and the shutter is of the Kodak Ball Bearing type but supplied with bulb and tube instead of cable release. This shutter is graduated for speeds of 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 seconds, and works also, of course, for bulb and time exposures. The leaves operate on ball bearings and open in the shape of a star, admitting the greatest possible amount of light for any given exposure. With this equipment the camera is suitable for general amateur work of all kinds--snap shots, landscapes and portraiture, especially in connection with the Kodak Portrait Attachment. It is made of seasoned wood, with front bed of aluminum and metal runways, making an instrument of unusual compactness for a plate camera. The bed and box of the Premo No. 8 are covered with black leather, the bellows is black and the metal parts being finished in nickel, give the camera a neat, attractive appearance. The standard is made of metal and is very rigid, a rising and falling front is supplied and the finder is of the new Premo collapsible type. This model, of course, is provided with a ground glass for sharp focusing, and while it is intended primarily for plates, it can be loaded with films just as easily. By the use of a Premo Film Pack Adapter it can be converted into a compact, daylight loading film camera, perfectly suitable for the vacationist or for any occasion where the light weight and greater convenience of films would be desirable. It is really one camera which offers the advantage of two. _SPECIFICATIONS._ Capacity, 12 Film or 2 plate exposures. Box, kiln-dried wood, covered with leather.
