Precise focal length adjust-ment according to the screen size and distance



Perfect, full-format screen illumination
due to precise focal length adjustment

If visitors to the Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid could only see 92% of Pablo Picassos masterpiece “Guernica” due to space limitations, there would be an uproar. However, a similar problem often occurs in cine-mas with large screens if the focal length of the projection lens is not matched precisely to the screen size.
 

This no longer has to be the case: the “Variable Prime” lens series
VP CINELUX
covers all focal lengths from 28.9 mm to 63.7 mm stepless-
ly for the film formats 1:1.37; 1:1.66; and 1:1.85 with 13 lenses. Every
VP-CINELUX projection lens allows a precise adjustment of focal length within its specific range; the fine-tuning of the projection image to the screen size can be carried out easily when the test film CLT is running.


A tool is supplied with which the lock can be set to the “UNLOCK” position; then a mid-range focal length is set and the lens mounted in the lens holder of the projector. The focus is set while the test film is running and then the lens is fixed in place in the lens holder. The image size can now be adjusted using the sensitive focal length setting with reference to the format limitations of the test film CLT. Finally, the lens is fixed in the “LOCK” position and, if necessary, the focus corrected again.
