Animar Series of Photographic Lenses

A new series of highly corrected lenses, with focal lengths ranging from 12.7 mm to 100 mm, has been designed for 8-mm and 16-mm cinematography. The speed of some lenses in this series is as high as f/1.5. Some general problems of optical design and of evaluation of lens performance are discussed. Strict criteria are used for appraising the quality of these lenses, which will be introduced on the market under the name of Animar.
