[Letter from J. W. Dickey to D. W. Kempner, July 19, 1938] (open access)

[Letter from J. W. Dickey to D. W. Kempner, July 19, 1938]

Letter from J. W. Dickey to D. W. Kempner explaining an order to Eastman Kodak Company. J. W. Dickey tells Kempner that buying a U-9 mount will allow Kempner to use any lenses such as f1.9 or Telephoto. He goes on to recommend a Model F in the size 45" x 60" as it is the best all-around size for shooting in 16mm. A postscript explains that old Kodacolor filters are entirely useless at this time.
