The English cameras used in India have been described previously. Filters 
used are the 15G (Wratten) and the Minus Blue. 
Italy 
The four main Italian cameras are the Santoni III, a double plate camera 
with each unit tilted 15° from the vertical, the Santoni IV, a film camera, the 
AFL-92/A Nistri plate camera (Fig. 2) made by the Italian Auto-Mechanic and 
Aero Photogrammetric Company, and the FOMA-93/A Nistri film camera 
(Fig. 3). Their chief characteristics are listed in the following table. Another 
Fig. 3 FOMA-93/A Nistri film camera 
model of the AFL-92/A is the AFL-92/B, which has a high performance central 
shutter with speeds from 1/100 to 1/350 of a second and an OMI Aldebaron 
18 cm f :4 - 5 lens. There is also an FOM model 93/B camera which is identical 
in characteristics and operation to the model 93/A except that the format size 
is 30 x 30 cm. The lens is the OMI Rigel 21 cm f :6 • 3 and the number of exposures 
is reduced to 160. The Santoni IV camera is sometimes used in a tri-camera 
mount with a vertical left and right camera. The axes of the cameras are sepa 
rated by 48°. The Zeiss RMK-20/3030 camera used in Italy is similar to that 
described for Germany except that the size is somewhat smaller and it only 
takes 180 exposures per loading.
