Anamorphic Lens System
An anamorphic lens known as “Scanoscope” has been developed for use in motion pictures and television. The optical design is described, showing how the aberrations are controlled over a field angle of 80° or more. A unique coupling arrangement allows this lens to be used interchangeably with camera lenses of different focal length in a unit focus arrangement. Application of this system to the Mitchell NC and BNC cameras is described.
