Abstract: A casual observer, looking over the existing standard amateur photographic equipment, would probably be of the opinion that there is little need of altering a camera to do a special job. However, closer observation of the various problems that photography serves reveals that the standards of practice have been chosen merely to suit the needs of a common majority of users, and the minority are almost forgotten. Further observations show that an alteration to a standard camera to make it fit a specific purpose usually precludes its usefulness for many of the purposes for which it was originally designed, and also its utility for other special purposes. In this paper are made known some of the unusual adaptations of 16-mm. motion picture equipment, each to fulfill a definite purpose, and it is shown that industry is becoming more conscious of the utility of such photographic equipment as tools in solving some of its problems.
