The Film Daily (1930)

Sunday, October 26, 1930 -. SWl DAILY EQU IP M EN T BOOTH. Bausch & Lomb Develop Lens for Wide Screen Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. has ..itroduced a new series of projection lenses known as the Super-Cinephor lenses, and a special Cinephor Condenser system, which are said to solve the problem in the way of condensing systems and projection lenses to satisfactorily illuminate and depict the wide film picture. These products are the result of long research by the company's scientific bureau, headed by W. B. Rayton. About two years ago there was introduced a new series of photographic lenses, known as the Raytar, working at a speed of F 2.3, which many of the cameramen have pronounced as highly satisfactory even for Grandeur. The Super-Cinephor lenses, it is said, are made in focal lengths arranging from 2 inches to 5/j inches in J^-inch steps. From 3 inches focus on up, these lenses will project the 23 by 46 wide film aperture satisfactorily, provided they are used in conjunction with a suitable and adequate illuminating system. The shorter focal lengths are the only satisfactory lenses for those who are using 35 mm. film and projecting the wide picture. These lenses are particularly noted for their flatness of field, sharp definition, freedom from distortion and excellent color GOLD SE4L TICKET REGISTERS Protection — Sprrri— Efficiency GENERAL REGISTER CORP.

The condensing system is a highly corrected system, the rear condenser which is 5^2-inch diameter being sphero-cylindrical in form and a front condenser, which is 6 inches in diameter, being of sphero-parabolic form. They must be set up according to very definite specifications and the projectionist using them musl see that these specifications are complied with regardless of whatever mechanical modifications he may have to make on his equipment. Fox's "The Big Trail," now at the Roxy, is using these lenses.
