Pictures Taken With A Mamiya 37mm Lens: These aper-ures were at the time almost unknown in focal lengths is long as the 4-inch Ernostar lens of the Ermanox and the y/2-inch Kinoplasmat lens of the Lunar. Their great light-passing power enabled snapshots to be taken at low levels of illumination. The Ernemann-Werke boasted iat this extremely fast lens opens a new era in photography, and makes accessible hitherto unknown fields with instantaneous or brief time exposures without flashlight: night pictures taken with a mamiya 37mm lens, interiors by artificial light, theater pictures taken with a mamiya 37mm lens during performance, children's pictures taken with a mamiya 37mm lens, scientific records, etc.
IN BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY as practiced today, no accessories are more widely used than color filters. Easily attached in front of your Camera lens, they are capable both of giving your pictures taken with a mamiya 37mm lens more accurate tone values and of adding greatly to their effectiveness and charm. Color filters will serve you well in taking landscapes and other pictures taken with a mamiya 37mm lens, especially if you understand what they do and how they do it. This chapter covers not only these important devices but also other lens attachments which you will find equally interesting.
However, although a long focal length lens is mandatory, it need not be expensive. The utmost of critical sharpness in a portrait lens is not necessary, or even desired, since considerable diffusion can be tolerated in portrait negatives. Your lens needn't be in a shutter for strictly studio portraits, either. A lens in barrel is perfectly satisfactory, since you can provide yourself with a simple Packard shutter to use behind the lens. Many portrait men actually prefer the Packard to the more costly between-the-lens shutters. |
