Factors which Affect the Contrast of a Lens Image in the Motion Picture Camera

Clifton Tuttle, H. E. White

The accurate reproduction of object contrast by the lens image is the optical desideratum in photography. To fulfill this requirement, it is necessary that each area in the image shall receive light from only the corresponding area of the object. If any light other than true image-forming light falls onto the image, the contrast relations will be altered. A uniform distribution of non-image forming light over the image results in a decrease of image contrast.
