no%V the GPL Vari-Focal Lens gives you The GPL Vari-Focal Lens is equally useful, studio and field; fits all monochrome and color image orthicon cameras. The GPL Vari-Focal Lens can handle an entire show with one camera ; can perform most work ordinarily requiring two chains. The GPL Vari-Focal Lens has a focal range nearly twice that of any other lens in the industry; can make a 10:1 change in focal length in two 5:1 steps — from 3" to 15" and 6" to 30". Once focused, object remains sharply focused, including corners, as focal length is varied. The GPL Vari-Focal Lens has the same standard of resolution as high quality camera lenses of fixed focal length. The GPL Vari-Focal Lens can zoom from a long shot to an extreme close-up, continuously, without advantages disturbing pick-up continuity or camera orientation. Speed of full zoom is variable from 2 to 30 seconds. The GPL Vari-Focal Lens eliminates the need and expense of additional lenses. The GPL Vari-Focal Lens is silently motor-driven ; can be operated from camera or control room. g The GPL Vari-Focal Lens is fully color-corrected ; has flat field over entire range. 3 AND NOW— A NEW FEATURE. The GPL VariFocal Lens now is available with manual focal control, located at the cameraman's fingertips. Changes of the focal plane can now be accomplished by simple turns of the knob. 6 7 For full information or demonstration — phone, write or wire AMERA CHAINS* FILM CHAINS • FIELD STUDIO Broadcasting o Telecasting January 30, 1956 • Page 33
