The shortage of photographic material in the Far East recently surely hampers the enthusiastic amateur photographers. Everyone is trying to purchase an extra supply to meet his needs. The shortage hits the professionals squarely on the head, for many are unprepared. A large number of photographers divide their sheet films and take two to four pictures on a sheet of film while others change their size of film from 4 by 5 to 3 ¼ by 2 ¼ roll film. The miniature camera is also in great demand now, for the simple reason that 35mm film can easily be purchased. Many salon workers are shifting their size from 16 by 20 to 11 by 14, and more test strips are used. We hope the importers of photographic goods will soon ease this shortage tension.
The Indian Show in Hong Kong turned out is a great success. Dr. G. Thomas in India had gathered the prints, which were displayed, from well-known Indian Photographers. A selection of the most outstanding work in the exhibition was a difficult task as all the work was good. For one week showing, more than eight thousand visitors crowded the Society Exhibition hall. It may be claimed as one of the best shows ever seen in Hong Kong.
