DIMMED
FINDERS
AND
HOW
TO
MAKE
THEM
BRIGHT
AGAIN.
For
some
cause
which is
not
thoroughly
understood,
glass
will
some
tim
es"
sweat"
to
such
an
extent
as
to
cover it with a
sort
of film, which, of course,
mak
es it very dull
whether
it be
used
as
lens
or
>mirror. Glass
that
is tightly
packed
in cases
as
well
as
that
which is
exposed
to
the
air
is liable
to
take
on
this
film,
supposedly
from peculiar
atmospher
ic conditions.
Whatever
the~ause,
the
result is
th
e occasional dimming of
finders
and
lenses.
In
the
case of lenses it is, of course, easy
e
nough
for anyone
to
wipe
them
off.
With
finders
th
e
trouble
is
sometimes
in the mirror, which necessitates
opening
the
finder
and
wiping
the
mirror
by
means of a soft
cotton
cloth
on
a be
nt
wire.
With
many
kinds of
Kodaks
anyone
can r eadily
get
at
the
inside of
the
finder
and
in five minutes restore it to a
ll
its original brilliancy.
To
clean
the
mirrors
in
the
brilliant finders of
the
No. 2
Ster
eo
Kodaks,
simply
remove
the
two
screws which
hold
in
frame
on
top
of finder
and
lift
out
frame. Now
turn
the
Kodak
over
and
the
"bri
lli
ant"
lens of finder will
drop
out
and
the
mirror
can
be easily cleaned.

vVe
recommend
everyone
to
do
th
eir own developing. vVith
our
Special outfit
it
is very simple
and
inexpensive,
no
r
eg
ular
clark
room
is required,
and
the
operator
can
obtain
proofs from
the n
ega
tives
as
soon
as
th
ey
are
dry.
If,
however,
the
Kodaker
prefers
to
have
us
"Do
the
rest,"
he can
send
his
exposures
to
us
by mail.
We
have l
arge
r
and
better
facilities for developing
and
printing
and
more
ski
ll
ed
operators
than
anyone
else,
and
it is
to
our
interest
to
get
th
e best results
from
every negative.
