tat the bottom of the BOX TENGOR permits secure attachment ofthe camera to a tripod..After every exposure the fflm has to be advanced with the fflm win-ding knob (1) until the next frbme number appears in the window (15).

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHScan also be made with the BOX TENGOR thanks to its built-in flashsynchronization contact, which ftres the flash when the shutter is wideopen. For taking flash photographs, attadl the connecting cord of theflash unit to the flash synchronization contact (14) of the BOXTENGOR. Of course, the flash unit must have a standard plug. Flashphotographs with flash lamps can be made with the "M" setting.Consequently, the BOX TENGOR can even be used for flash actionphotographs from the hand. The most suitable flash lamps availableon the market are the Osram flashes F0, F1 and F2, the Philipsflashes Pf74, Pf25 and Pf56 as well as the Syntax flash. The camerais synchronised only for flash lamps (Vacuflashes), not for electronicflashes.The BOX TENGOR is a dependable camera even in rough use.provided its efffciency is preserved by careful protection of thecamera from moisture, dust, and similar detrimental external in-fluences. Careful handling will pay in so far as the BOX TENGORwill remain a source of constant pleasure for its owner.

LOADING OF THE CAMERA

The BOX TENGOR is loaded with standard B II/8 roll ftlm, furnish-

ing 8 2rla" x3tla" pictures. For opening the BOX TENGOR, pull out

the locking knob (10) and remove the back of the camera. Insert the.

empty spool into the upper spool chamber with the prong of the

film winding key engaging with the slit of the spool. Then engage the

unexposed ftlm with the two lower spool pins, turn the spool until

the narrow end of the protective paper points upward and then sl.it thegummed label. Pull the beginning of the protective paper civer the

two rollers to theupper spool (take-up

spool), insert the be-ginning of the pro-

tective paper into the

wide slot of the take-

up spool, tighten thepaper by turning the

film winding knob(1), sl ide the back ofthe camera on itsfront part and close

the camera with the locking knob (10). Then open theand turn the fi lm winding knob (1) unti l the numberin the window. Now, the ftrst frame of the ftlm canThen close the window (15).

distances closer than 25 ft, estimate or

measure the distance of the object be-

fore the exposure and set the lever (8)

on the respective distance. Close-ups

and portraits are usually made with

the 7-2 m (40"-80") distance setting,

pictures of groups of persons are made

with the 2-8 m (80"-25 ft) setting, and

landscape or architectural photographs

are best made with the 8-o (25 ft-in-

be chosen: 9, 71, or 15. The higher the

lens aperture ftgure the smaller is the

lens aperture. Every reduction of the lens aperture, however, requires

an extension of the exposure time. The best pictures are obtained with

the medium diaphragm setting "77" which, therefore, is preferably

used for all outdoor photographs. Under less favourable lighting con-

HO\T TO HOLD THE CAMERAI

For taking pictures with the BOX TENGOR, the camera is held islightly above waist level so that the viewftnder image can be con-

veniently studied from above. Vhen taking vertical pictures the BOX

TENGOR is held in the left hand and the shutter is released withthe right-hand thumb. For good composition it is necessary that thephotographer's eye is directly above the viewfinder sighting aperture i(see illustration). The viewftnder renders an upright image of the object .f

with reversed sides. In order to avoid slanting of pictures, it is advis- iable to co-ordinate the left and right edges of the viewftnder image iwith the vertical lines and obiects of the motive.

THE EXPOSURE

\When an exposure is to be made the

pushed back and the red dot must be

cating that the ftlm has been ad-

vanced. The lever (6) is set on the

desired exposure time (action photo-

graph or time exposure). Then the

exposure can be made by pressing

down the shutter release lever (5).tVith setting "M" the shutter opcns

for l/so sec and then closes automati-

cally. Vhen making time exposures(lever t61 to be set on "T"), the

shutter opens when the release (5) is

pressed down and closes after thepressure ceases. tVith the aid of a

cable release equipped with a plnnger

catch the shutter can be kept open

for a long time, without constantlypressing the release (5). In fact, it is

highly recommendable to use a cable

release for every time exposure. The cable

release must be screwed into the thread (13).

The ZEISS IKON cable release, equipped

with plunger catch, permits extremely

long time exposures. For all action photo-

graphs and short time exposures the disk' ((B" must ftrst be pressed in the direction

of "C" and then be slightly twisted until

i t remains in this position close to "C".

For long exposgres, however, the disk "B" must be apart from "C".

Vhen the cable release plunger is pressed, the disk (68" catches the

knob " A" which, subsequently, can be released only by a slight

pressure on the disk "8". \tr ith the aid of this device unlimited time

exposures can be made without con-

stantly pressing the cable release knob.

Vhen taking action photographs it is

advisable not to breathe during the

exposure in order to avoid blurring

of the picture. Time exposures must , ,.'lbe made from a solid support, pre-

ferably from a tripod. A thread (16) .,+*o. :::t+:,
