Camera (5.Chinon C.P) is one of the good cameras, and it is of the programmed type. You can use it according to the normal way, as follows:
In the case of automatic use, the location is placed at the letter -A-, as the shutter will work automatically according to the exposure through the lens.
In the case of working with a shutter speed and a manual lens aperture, the location is placed on the letter (M).

Forte movies

I noticed from the beginning that you do not come to mention all the films in the market, and especially this
Films, Forte » for black and white, so is there a verse
Flaws in this movie?
Especially since its price is suitable for many amateur friends, in addition to the result, as I think, is fine.

- Clean negatives and glossary of terms

How can the negatives be washed to restore purity to them, since whenever I send them to print or enlarge, they come back with the fingerprints of the laboratory workers on them.
Repeated wiping makes the picture lose its beauty, as is evident with the picture attached to my letter. Is there a special solution to fix the traces of wiping?
Do you recommend adopting slides alone to get rid of this phenomenon?
Where can I get a glossary of photography terms?
English-Arabic or English-English, you searched for it to no avail?
Noor Sharkas
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

To wash the negatives from fingerprints and dust that may have been attached to it. A solution (359 Kodak film cleaner) can be used, and if the problem is a few fingerprints, a piece of chamois or cotton can be used with some alcohol, provided that the back side of the film is wiped.
With regard to the next point, each type has its problems, and the slides pick up a good amount of dust, unless you are able to follow a technical method to save and use them.
The terminology book does not exist in the first place, but we can tell you about the technical words that you find difficult to translate or understand their meanings.


Details about 70 . Canon T

In the nineteenth issue, you mentioned some details about the Canon camera, but you did not give more details about it. Can it be used manually?
I also want to know which of the two cameras is more practical, Canon (T-70) or Pantax (Program Plus)

(Canon T 7O) is one of the modern cameras produced by this company, and it is made of
Reinforced plastic, and this may be one of its drawbacks. The lens aperture works manually or automatically.
And speed too, but on the electronic way
It is possible to press a special button to operate manually.

Through a special button under the Down title and another button under the Up title. The first key raises the speed to the top. If the speed is at 1/60 and you want to raise it to 1/500, we have to press this key three times to reach the required stage, and the other key works in reverse as this one works. The camera automatically and I mean exposure. It will choose the desired speed by itself through the light scale.

Another thing that needs to be considered is the use of the flash at 90, and here it is necessary to use its own flash (T - Program - 277) and you cannot use any flash you have that you want to increase its effectiveness or results.
This camera is equipped with an electronic clock and date controller located on the outer cover of the film store.
This information that we were able to obtain about the intended camera, due to the indifference of those responsible for this company to give more information.

As for the best among the (Canon 70 T)
And (... Pentax) - our opinion cannot be given to avoid known sensitivities.
Rather, we point out that Bantex is used by amateurs and professionals, but (T 70) is intended for amateurs or beginners only, according to our opinion.
