Abstract: Optical system for use with attachments for a conventional reflex motion picture camera to permit stereographic cinematography are disclosed. The optical systems include lens systems having four powered elements having negative, positive, negative, and positive focal lengths respectively. The lens systems are adapted to be used with the Bernier stereographic cinematography attachment system as modified for reflex motion cameras. The lens systems include a normal lens system, a wide angle lens system, and a telephoto lens system. The wide angle lens system further includes plane parallel refractive elements to increase its overall length without changing its back focal length, and the telephoto lens system is adapted to be used with internal displacement prisms which bring the images produced by the telephoto lens system into the camera flange opening.

Abstract: A high speed projection lens system particularly adaptable for a television projection system having a viewing screen and a video image forming surface is provided. The projection lens system includes a first thin meniscus lens element convex to the projection screen having an aspherical Fresnel type surface; a second thin meniscus lens element concave to the projection screen having an aspherical Fresnel type surface and a weak third thin aspherical meniscus lens element.

Abstract: A composite photography system of a registered matte type having foreground and background camera optical systems is provided. The respective images from each camera optical system are maintained in registration whereby objects in the background scene can be viewed by one camera and objects in a foreground scene can be viewed by the other camera to produce a realistic composite image. The optical systems permit the maintenance of a substantially constant magnification ratio of image to object during a variable focussing of at least one of the foreground and background optical systems. Additionally, substantially stationary entrance pupil positions are maintained during the focussing mode of operation. The background lens system is, by itself particularly adapted for incorporation into optical scanning probes such as simulators to provide a minimum altitude and constant image magnification during focussing.
