TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
The "best" Film
MINOX film is available in several different types for black-and-white photography,
and for Color Pictures. The black-and-white films vary in sensitivity (speed) to suit
every possible need . The sensitivity is expressed in American Standard exposure
index numbers: ASA 12 (Green Label). ASA 25 (Yellow Label). ASA 50 (Blue Label).
ASA
100 (Red Label). ASA 100 film is twice as sensitive to light as ASA 50, ASA 50
twice as sensitivite as ASA 25, and so on. Thus, under any given conditions ASA 50 film,
for instance , would require only half the shutter speed needed for ASA 25 .
The
lower the film sensitivity, the finer the detail it is capable of reproducing in the
final print . Therefore, the super-sensitive ASA 100 film should be used only in instances
when there is not enough illumination for slower films, or when flash exposures are
not feasible (stage photography, candid shots, etc.). The medium sensitivity films
ASA
25 and ASA 50 are best suited for all-around picture-taking, and will yield ex-
cellent prints in all popular sizes. ASA 12 film is especially suited for bright beach,
montain, and snow scenes, as well as for close-ups of stationary small objects with the
MINOX used on a tripod.
MINOX Color Film is available for daylight, and for artifical (tungsten) light.
Steady!
Get used to a comfortable, steady hold of your MINOX during exposure ; experience
will show you whether you can get steady pictures even at the slower shutter speeds .
Generally, you will find it advisable to use a tripod ar ather firm support for shutter
