By JOHN HOKE

ECAUSE OF THE particular design of the Auricon-Pro 16mm · B single-system camera, which has the lens rather centrally located instead of to the left, as with most motion picture cameras, the Zoomar-16 lens cannot be used on this camera efficiently unless some provision is made for the operator to FIG.

The writer overcame this obstacle by installing an arrangement of prisms, which provide an offset viewing element for the finder, as may be seen in the photos ahove.
