Camera Craftsman - March/April 1970
This March-April 1970 issue of Camera Craftsman features an in-depth technical analysis of the Polaroid electronic shutter system. The main article by James Todd Amos examines the electronic shutter mechanism in Polaroid 100 series cameras, demonstrating the advantages of electronic timing over purely mechanical systems. Electronic shutters enable continuous speed variation without steps and deliver superior accuracy, especially at slower speeds.
The publication explores cash flow control and presents a popularized history of electricity. A research forecast from Leitz Canada's research director and updates on photographic optics progress round out the technical coverage. Samuel L. Love's editorial column "The Customer Is Always Wrong" offers witty observations on technician-customer relations, supported by a humorous anecdote about a customer incorrectly using a reflex camera.
Regular departments include help wanted ads, ServiShops news updates, and technical forum discussions with service notes for SPT section 275. The students section provides graduate reports. A lifetime edition Photo-Lab Index is published as a comprehensive resource reference for camera technicians, containing detailed information on films, filters, exposure, negatives, prints, lenses, and photographic formulas.
