 Todd-AO Cine ApergonThe Todd-AO projection lenses, known as Cine Apergons, were specially designed by American Optical Company for each cinema (so the press said) with aspherical surfaces on some of their elements. Cine Apergons were available in these basic focal lengths • 2,6" = 66mm • 3" = 76mm • 3,5" = 89mm • 4,1" = 104mm • 5,6" = 142mm • 6,6" = 168mm With a green magnifier, intermediate focal lengths could also be obtained. They were very sturdy and heavy lenses. The pair used in Copenhagen almost "painted" an extremely sharp 70mm image on the curved 17 meter Todd-AO screen. Always in focus, great contrast and very bright images. • Go to 70mm film projection lenses for the DP70 |
