It then says that "Once in a great while a new camera appears on the market which is so outstanding it dwarfs all competition. It handles like a thoroughbred, produces results to satisfy the connoisseurs, is as easy to use as the "old reliable" box camera. The Aires 35, with 1/500 sec. MFX shutter, is just such an instrument. It whispers precision...you feel the silky sm-o-o-o-thness as you use it. A sharp crispness is apparent in the unbelievably brilliant "trimming" type single-window finder, and in the slightning fast f:1.9 6-element lens. And, the new Aires 35-IIIC also has BUILT-IN SELF TIMER and AUTOMATIC PARALLAX COMPENSATION. All this and other fine features make Aires the 35mm Standard For The Comparison. See it soon at your camera dealer". It has a price of $110.00 for the Aires 35 camera but it shows an Aires 35-IIIL camera for $99.50, an Aires Exposure Meter for $12.95 and an Aires Telephoto Lens for $59.95. |

The difference in the two photos is more than just slight, the one on the right you can barely tell what it is about. Below this the headline reads "'Twin Camera' Test proves you can get action pictures like this only with Super Anscochrome". The ad then says that "Super Anscochrome - Film speed 100 - is the fastest, most sensitive color film ever created. Result? Super Anscochrome lets you shoot pictures no one has ever caught in color before. You can now take color pictures just by the available light in a room, for instance. Or in fog or rain. Or at dawn or dusk. And without time exposure, tripod or extra lighting. You can freeze fast action, too - with every movement sharp, every color clear. Color quality? Magnificent! And the "depth" and detail of the slides will thrill you. No wonder Super Anscochrome, world's fastest color film, is also the world's fastest-growing film - with amateurs and pros, alike. Available in 35mm or 120 sizes". |

Right from the start, tremendous picture-taking power goes to work for you the easy way. When the weather's average bright, you just line up the Color-matic settings and take your picture. Matter of fact, sparkling color slides are actually as easy to make as the simplest black-and-white pictures - and the cost is only a few extra pennies per shot. What's more, you project your slides life-size so the whole family can enjoy them. And to make sure you get beautiful results, the fast f:3.5 Cintar lens is coupled to the rangefinder for quick, razor-sharp focusing.

Full color 7 3/4" x 11" ad for the Honeywell Pentax Camera. The ad has a photo of this camera sitting at the top of the ad and the headline under it says that "Five years ago we brought you a camera that takes the guesswork out of fine photography. You made Honeywell Pentax a classic". The text continues by saying that "Only continuing acceptance by discriminating users can make a product a classic. Most products - even those in the higher price ranges - depend on "cosmetic" changes to maintain appeal. How many fine watches, automobiles - or cameras - can you name that are so inherently superior they maintain leadership with essentially their original design. The Honeywell Spotmatic that "took the guesswork out of fine photography" when it was introduced five years ago, is still the world's best-selling fine camera. And this classic hasn't rested on it's laurels. Inside, the Spotmatic has been improved and refined. A total of more than 140 modifications have been made since its introduction. These subtle, but significant, changes provide even greater perfection and satisfaction in use". Other headlines in this ad are "The "classics" have one thing in common: Simplicity", "Perfect exposure every time", "You can feel - even hear - the difference" and "Honeywell Pentax isn't just a fine camera - it's a system of fine photography". |

The ad headline says "Kodak 35 - your 'Civilian Miniature' is with the Army...Navy...Air Forces...Marines...in Uniform". It then says that "When production of cameras for you stopped short, Kodak 35 - owned by a large number of America's miniature camera enthusiasts - won a preferred rating. Production of the 35 sped ahead, on Government order. Because the Army...Navy...Air Forces...and Marines...needed a camera which does precisely what you do, in civilian life, want your camera to do. From trim black and silver finish into non-reflecting black and olive drab - that was the only change in the 35. Kodak 35, making pictures in either black-and-white or Kodachrome, offers more "picture capacity" than the average person usually needs. Yet it's comparitively simple to operate - not too much of a handful for a man who's excited...under fire. And it is dependable - can take some banging around, and still get pictures. Kodak 35 is the heart of the Photographic Field Kit, designed and made by Kodak for the U.S. Signal Corps, which is responsible for Army photography in ground operations. A complete photographic laboratory in a "suitcase". If you are not one of those who own this smart little Miniature, you can look forward to it as one of your "after the war" experiences". |

There is a picture of a dog looking over the side of a boat, a girl riding a bike no-hands on the beach, a man holding his camera up, a young child playing in the sand with four or five birds withing two feet of her, a boy with a pail of, water? up to his face and a girl working away on a big piece of watermelon. The ad says that "As temperatures go up, guards come down. People's, pups' - even pigeons. Don't miss moments like these. Count on today's Kodak cameras and Kodak film to make any moment extra special - a memory to live over and over again. Ask for Kodachrome film for color slides and movies, Kodacolor film for snapshots. Be sure the name Kodak is on the box". |

The ad text tells us that "There's no such thing as a vacation picture "getting away" when you're the owner of a Polaroid Land Camera. You see your results on the spot, and if that once-in-a-lifetime shot doesn't turn out exactly the way you want it, just shoot it over, wait another 60 seconds, and there's a honey. There's never any disappointment back home a week later when you find out some shots you thought were going to be terrific just didn't turn out. But eliminating the guesswork is only one thing. The big thing is the tremendous kick the whole family gets out of seeing the picture right away. At picnics, the beach, holidays, parties...everybody gets to enjoy these pictures as fast as the camera can turn them out. Something else. The quality of today's 60-second pictures is just plain terrific. There's a great new panchromatic Polaroid Land Film that gives you the richest blacks and snowiest whites you've ever seen. Details are razor sharp, in both light and shadow areas. And this new film is so fast that you can shoot in one-fourth the light you used to need. Makes no difference whether the sun's out or not. These pictures last, too, just like any fine prints. And it's easy to get all the copies you want. Enlargements are simply beautiful. Think seriously about getting one of these cameras. Drop into any camera store and take a look at it. They have a demonstration model sitting right there on the counter. Take a couple of shots of yourself. There's no trick at all to working it.

"A new 3000-speed film and repeating wink-light make this possible for the 60-second Polaroid Land Camera. Together, these two remarkable improvements let you take pictures anywhere in your home by the light of a single lamp. The 3000-speed film is so sensitive to light, it almost sees in the dark. Your regular room lamps provide the main source of light. The wink-light provides just enough fill-in light to erase shadows that are cast by regular room lamps. Not a flashgun, the wink-light winks gently for 1000 pictures before you replace its small bulb and battery. Today, the Polaroid Land Camera not only gives you pictures in 60 seconds, it gives you those important pictures...easily, enjoyably, inexpensively. Cameras from $76.85...the wink-light $17.95". |

It shows you what you can do with an idea and a Polaroid Land Camera. Let's say you have the idea of posing your pups in a boot. Let's say the pups have some ideas of their own. If you're working with this camera, you know the outcome in ten seconds; and if it doesn't come out the way you'd hoped, you know the reason why, and you can try again. Get a Polaroid Land Camera now, and start enjoying the advantages of ten-second photography. By early spring, you'll be able to get color film for the same camera". |
