Opinions of the Press.

British Journal of Photography, January 4th, 1889.– "It folds into a smaller compass, and is lighter and more portable than any pattern we have yet seen."

Amateur Photographer, January 7th, 1889.- A won- derful, compact, and fairy-like instrument, exhibiting several new and important features. Sure to be a favourite with tourist photographers."

Photography, January 17th, 1889." One of the greatest advances in camera construction yet reached, away ahead of anything we have seen."

The Camera, February 1st, 1889.- Messrs. Watson have found by ingenious modifications how to make the weigh still lighter, and the rigid still more firm."

English Mechanic, March 1st, 1889.-"For portability and compactness, combined with practical utility, this camera may fairly be said to take the lead, and to ba deserving of the title 'Acme.'”
