Etablissments Andre Debrie dis¬ played its latest professional 16mm camera, the Sinmor, designed for both newsreel and soundstage use. The Sin¬ mor is an unusually lightweight unit, made so by the use of a tough and highly-resiliant plastic material for the housing, instead of metal. The camera takes external magazines, provides for a range of quick-interchange motors, and can he adapted for single-system sound and picture recording. Among the accessory lenses for 16mm cameras displayed and worthy of mention here was the Vario-Sonnar f/2 designed for Arriflex 16mm cam¬ eras. A product of Carl Zeiss, lens has a zooming range between 12.5 and 75mm and incorporates a total of 15 lens elements grouped into 12 com¬ ponent groups. At the 12.5 setting it is a true wide-angle lens with an angle of view of 52°. At the long end setting it renders a telephoto angle of 9°. Also shown was Zeiss' f/2 Distagon 8mm focal length lens, a super wideangle lens for the 16mm format having a 75° angle of view. It is a wellcorrected nine-element lens with high definition and excellent image illumi¬ nation. ■ “JOURNEY TO THE STARS” Continued from Page 345 edges. Its angular field of slightly more than 162 degrees assured sharp pro¬ jection coverage of the vast hemispher¬ ical dome. Because the ASA Type 1 film per¬ foration is non-standard it was neces¬ sary to place special orders with East¬ man Kodak Company for the 70mm film stocks required — making the first time that Eastman Color negative, internegative and print stocks were manufactured in this size and perfora¬ tion. In addition, three different blackand-white negatives were supplied: Tri-X, Plus-X and Background X. Meanwhile, Fine Arts Productions, Inc., under the guidance of Producerdirector John Wilson and Chief Cam¬ eraman Eugene Borghi, had begun filming the simulated voyage into 60 thousand billion miles of inter-galactic space. The production called for in¬ credible precision and the exploration of new frontiers in three-dimension stop-motion photography and anima¬ tion. 364 AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER, JUNE, 1963
