EVALUATION OF "EB" PHOTOGRAPHY EB-2.
1. CAMERA 66" LENS MAG-1 WAS USED IN MISSION EB-2 FLOWN ON
28 JUNE 1963; PROCESSING WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY WESTOVER.
2. THIS EVALUATION WAS MADE FROM A DP. ALL OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY
IS OBLIQUE. THERE ARE NUMBEROUS SCRATCHES, PINHOLES, AND ABRASIONS
THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. SOME POSSIBLY ARE ON THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE.
THE EXPOSURE IS ADEQUATE AND THE RESOLUTION IS VERY GOOD THROUGHOUT
THE MISSION. THE INFORMATION IN THE DATA CHAMBER IS NOT
READABLE DUE TO POOR EXPOSURE OR INACCURATE FOCUS. FOREGROUND
RESOLUTION IS SUPERIOR TO THE MORE DISTANT TARGETS. SOME FRAMES
ARE OUT OF FOCUS DUE EITHER TO VEHICLE ATTITUDE OR INACCURATE IMC.
THERE ARE NUMBEROUS EXAMPLES OF GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY WHICH WOULD INCLUDE
FRAMES 181, 192, 198, 205, ETC. THE PROCESSING IS GOOD. THE SCALE
AND RESOLUTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS CONSIDERED VERY GOOD FOR
PI SUITABILITY.
3. A MORE THOROUGH EVALUATION COULD BE MADE FROM THE
ORIGINAL NEGATIVE. SCP-1
