Speed up Your Lens Systems

William C. Miller

The tendency of bare glass surfaces to reflect light has always presented a serious problem in optics. New discoveries in the field of physics have resulted in methods of reducing these light reflections. One of these methods has proved practicable for general use in optical equipment. The reduction of reflections in treated systems has been so great that ghosts and flares are rarely encountered. The light no longer reflected by the glass surfaces is transmitted by the optical systems, increasing their efficiency. Camera lenses treated with the new process show an increase in speed of nearly a full stop. New applications of the process are being found almost daily.
