EXPOSURES WITH FLASH LIGHT
The fully synchronised focal-plane shutter of the CON T A X

will be fired at just the right time and with all the shutter speeds.

For firing flashbulbs of long flash duration especially
designed for focal-plane shutters (socalled F.P.-c1ass) .

flashbulbs with or
", ;ithout a small delay to peak as they
