A projection angle of unsurpassed size
illuminates even huge screens

Cinema projection onto large screens which the audience can practically no longer take in completely without head movement makes the viewers forget the real world and gives them the feeling they are actually in the middle of the movie action. Achieving this desired illusion was previously often impossible because the projection spacing was not sufficient for the screen size required for this.

This dream can now become reality with the Super-Wide-Cinelux lenses
of SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH with their sensation-ally short focal lengths. The focal lengths of 19 mm and 21 mm permit projection distances up to around 20% shorter than cinema lenses with the previously widest angles or, with the same projection distance, up to around 25% larger screen widths and heights (up to around 56% more area)!
 

To achieve a brilliantly bright projection image even with huge screen sizes, these exceptional cine-ma lenses offer the large aperture of f/2.0 for the aspect ratio format of 1:1.85 and have a very uniform light distribution despite their extremely large projection angle.The definition of these optical giants naturally also satisfy the highest demands right up to the corners for IMAX™ cinemas, theme parks and other movie theaters where standard film should be projected onto the largest over-dimensional screens.
