The American annual of photography . able mount with a nega-tive element. This was a distinct step in the right direction,and it was perfect enough that some of these lenses are still inuse. It made possible a snapshot outfit of reasonable bulk,which could be used to photograph subjects theretofore im-possible. There are several lenses of this type on the American mar-ket today which are very successful. They are light enough towork on a reflecting camera, and so well corrected as to dofine work at their full aperture, which is quite rapid enoughfor anything except the highest speed work. In conclusion may the writer venture to state that were heselecting an outfit for all around work he would choose a*set of lenses of the Protar type or a cemented triplet typelens. For hand camera work one of the Tessar typewould prove exquisite. For speed work there is a wide rangeof ultra rapid objectives to choose from, and they vary widelyin their characteristics as applied to the different requirementsof the photographer. 254. SOLITUDE.
