It is specially adapted for use with the Eastman-Walker Roll Holder. A 6½ × 4¾ Camera measures when closed 8 × 8 × 2½ in., weighs only 4 lbs., and extends to 17 in.

Messrs. R. & J. BECK.

Dear Sirs,

The No. 5 Lens, after severe testing, has proved to be a Splendid and Reliable Instrument, and candidly we expected a good thing; but with this Lens, for all the purposes we have tried it, the results are far above our expectations. During Twenty-five Years' experience in Photography, only Lenses of the two Best Makers have been used. We can confidently say we prefer your Lens to any of the others we have.

It is a recognized fact by all the leading Art Photographers of the day that a single Landscape Lens is absolutely the best for correct rendering of distances in Landscape Pictures, and that, providing the Lens is carefully corrected, a beautiful softness and truthfulness of atmospheric distance is the natural result. The Stereoscopic Company claim for their “Black Band” single Landscape Lenses absolute perfection in this respect.

“The space at our command forbids us to more than mention the conical-shape single landscape lens, a useful addition to every photographer’s kit, where views of mountain scenery are to be taken, the distances being rendered with truer perspective than is the case with the rectilinear.”
