A reliable standard series of anamorphic
cinema lenses in small focal length steps
 

This renowned first-class series of compact anamorphic cinema lenses guarantees Cinemascope® wide-screen projection at the highest possible level. It offers the perfect solution for many projectors with lens revolvers when it is a question of installing anamorphic projection and
is the currently most successful Schneider cinema lens series.

As with all anamorphic lens systems, the lenses here also consist of a base lens to produce the image and a preceding anamorphic lens for the horizontal stretching of the image for the wide-screen format. The optical design of the base lens is based on the proven Super-Cinelux 35 which won the Technical Achievement Award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2000, and it has become the standard for modern multiplex cinemas in combination with it. The extremely precise focusing drive (microfocus) at the front of the lens barrel facilitates the setting of the best sharpness and its front flush finish without any protruding parts makes a combination in the lens holder possible without vignetting with wide-angle lenses of up to 42.5 mm focal length.

The focusing and its locking can also be carried out with the lens in place with the supplied special tool (Allen wrench). The special tool prevents accidental dis-placement by unauthorized persons.
