The Camera and its Accessories Ii 
decker,” Reflex, and other similar cameras. It is 
strongly made, requires but one lens, has the best 
plate-holders that I have ever used, and a long bellows. 
The image is in view up to the instant the exposure is 
made. The focal-plane shutter gives great speed, 
but as it uses the maximum quantity of light, the 
negative, under normal conditions, is well timed. 
In writing this brief sketch of the camera and its 
accessories, I have tried to keep in mind at all times 
the real perplexities of the beginner. I hope that I 
have made it sufficiently clear, so that the initial 
expenditure will be in the right direction, and that 
the purchaser will not be burdened either by unneces- 
sary outlay or by useless apparatus.
