Every question has an answer
newer camera

I own a small Kodak camera and I want to buy a newer one to help me develop my hobby of photography. I looked at the “catalog” of the Canon T70 camera and found excellent features in it, but a friend advised me to buy a Ricoh .XRP camera as it is the latest, and it is possible to take pictures from the TV screen easily. with her .
In addition to that, I got acquainted with an explanation from your magazine about the Shinon camera (5.C.P), and now I ask you to provide me with the cameras you recommend, especially between “Canon”, “Shinon” and “Rico”. Or the newer camera in your opinion, even if it is from a company other than the three companies mentioned.

- Friend Farouk, we have already talked in detail about the (Ricoh-XRP) camera in our previous editions, and we add here that it is one of the modern and advanced cameras, knowing, my friend, that any camera can shoot from the TV screen according to the standards that we mentioned previously. If you are looking for a programmed camera, we recommend a camera. Ricoh, Chinon, or Pantax (Pentax Program-A) or one of the following Nikon cameras (FG-20), (F3), or (FA).
All these cameras work according to programmed systems, and in front of this quality mentioned here, you can choose one that suits you financially.
However, we do not advise you to buy the (T170) from Canon. We have also talked about its disadvantages in our previous preparations⏹


⏺ Explanation of pictures from the twenty-second issue

I would like you to explain some of the photos that were published in the twenty-second issue. On page 44, you talked about quick flash pulses. On the same page, there is a picture of a person holding a tennis stick.
In the same issue, in the Amateur Club section, there is a picture of Brother Shafiq Ghandour - membership number 87 - and it contains light signals. I want to know how this picture was taken, what is the sensitivity of the film, and how the picture was taken with this beautiful frame.

In the shot you are talking about, importance is due to a fast flash of light with a dark background, where the camera is placed at a stop (B) and the lens is at f / 11.
And as long as the flash gives flashes and the player moves slowly with every movement and flash of light, the result will come in the form that you saw in the second picture of friend Shafiq Ghandour.
You will find a detailed topic with Issue 26 about the two points that I talked about, within the section on Special Snapshots that go beyond reality⏹

⏺ Amateur lenses, filters, and schools.

1- Are there private schools for teaching photography other than the American University, and do they require postgraduate degrees?
2 - Which set of zoom lenses should be
Owned by a hobbyist and any filter group.

Hussein Mohammed Hassan

Our dear friend, there are no private institutes for photography in all of the Middle East. Unfortunately, this is with our hopes that the initiative owners will take a necessary step like this.
With regard to lenses, it is of course up to the capabilities of the hobbyist, as there is no objection to him owning a lens of 80 x 200 mm or 100 x 200 mm. The same applies to filters, as this is related to your vision and production projects, as you can buy a booklet from (Cokin) or (Hoym), and study the results of each filter, and what applies to your projects⏹

⏺ Colorful speaker for black and white and wedding equipment

I want to print a black and white image from a color enlarger (670 Durst-M). Is there anything wrong with that? Do I need a black and white enlarger?
And if you print this picture from the colored magnifier, what is the result?
Also, I had asked about special equipment for wedding photography, so you answered me that there is no need for a zoom lens and asked me to use a 50mm lens and a 105mm lens in addition to a 28mm lens, so what is the defect in using the 70 x 210mm zoom lens? A 50mm lens, and does this apply to weddings alone or to all occasions?

Friend Isaac
The microscopes are made for all uses, and when there is a colored head, the result does not differ at all, as you can print black and white images, provided that you pay attention to placing the magnifier filters in (zero) centers, or that the colored filter stores are empty of any filter, and the result is the same.
There is no harm, my friend, in owning a zoom lens if your capabilities allow you to do so, and it is good, and it may be necessary for many subjects, especially weddings and occasions, etc...
As for the 105mm lens, it is good for taking portraits of the bride or groom, or otherwise, and there is no harm in using a Doppler (2X) to photograph faces.

⏺ Macro and effect filters

1- I would like to inquire about the word (Macro) on the lens, and please explain how to use it and how to get multiple results for it.
2- Until now, I did not know how the filters work because I did not know how to use them and the results that I get. And what happens in the magazine is that some pictures are placed with the influence of the candidate on them, but no other picture is published next to them without the filter so that we can see the difference.
From here, I hope to put these two pictures next to each other and write the data below to show the differences clearly and in a way that we amateurs are aware of.

P.O. Box 4049 Damascus

Louie's friend. The word, macro, means the wide field, i.e. the possibility of approaching the subject to be photographed in order to show it with greater detail and accuracy, and this naturally leads to enlarging the subject - a small insect or part of a flower - and giving it an enlarged size of 1/20, i.e. the possibility of enlarging the size of the subject - when going deeper In the field.. up to twenty times his real image.
This means that . macro. The close up imaging technique exceeds, as it gives an enlargement from 1 to 8 from the original size, and you can return to Issue No. 11 - the topic of the close-up imaging technique - and Issue No. 13 - the topic. Small insects under close-up photography - you can also get larger results by experiment. As for the filters, we have mentioned more than once that it is possible to obtain a special booklet for the effect of the filters and the function of each of them. The possibility of working with multiple filter methods.
There are functions for black and white filters and special filters for colors, and there are filters with a variety of artistic effects, which are more than a hundred filters, and we will be exposed later to some methods to clarify the data that was requested⏹
