If this were not so, then we are relinquishing our primary responsibility, then we may even pretend to bear the name of creative writers. The main business of the creative writer is not preaching. By the tools of his art, his main concern towards his audience and to­ wards his material is that of bringing a shock of discovery, of recognition, of revelation, so that in his work the reader sees himself in new awareness and evaluates himself with a more quickened spirit, and is given a richer insight into life and into his fellow beings. Thus the successful writer transcends the incidents of his time and becomes a sage and prophet. The writer of the highest integ­ rity can rest his case on this. Artistic revelation is his final responsibility to himself and to his art. High-Power Camera An Japanese camera firm recently announced the entry of the world’s brightest lens system which it produced experimentally in the current Interna­ tional Camera Show at Cologne, West Germany. The lens system has four times the resolving power of the human eye in a standard lens of fifty millimeters made up of five groups of seven lenses each. If the system is used along with an ASA 2,000 high sensitive film, the camera can easily catch fast moving objects in the dark, its maker, the “Canon” firm, said. Canon cameras using this system of lenses will be put on sale sometime next year after some fur­ ther improvements, it was announced. * 34 Panorama
