INTERCHANGEABLE LENS GROUP UNITS
Lens Hoods
Lens hoods protect against ex-
traneous light striking the lens
and causing unwanted glare.
Hoods for standard lenses are
cover types and can be reversed
to provide easy storage even
when the camera is in the case.
Five lens hoods are optionally
available (see T A B L E OF IN-
T E R C H A N G E A B L E

Filters
Filters are essential to the effec-
tive rendition of photographic
subjects. In controlling contrast
and eliminating unwanted haze
in black and white photography,
the use of the correct filter often
means the difference between a
good photograph and a great one.
In color, where the balancing of
the light with the film emulsion
is absolutely necessary for cor-
rect color, conversion and light
balancing filters are the only ef-
fective way of achieving the de-
sired results.
* Be careful not to use two filters
simultaneously in order to avoid
unintentional cut in the per-
iphery of a photograph.
(See the table of various filters
on the opposite page.)
