Correction of focusing :
The fact of placing the filters
behind the lensslightly alters
the focusing setting for a
given distance.
opposite show the positions
to which the focusing rings
of
Kern-Paillard
25 mm and 26 mm lenses
must be set to obtain per-
fectly
sharp
matter which filter is used.
E.g. For a filming distance of 10 ft.,
the Yvar 16 mm's
should be set to 7 ft. On the other
hand, the available depth of field
will still correspond to that for a
shooting distance of 10 ft., i.e. 4,8 ft.
to infinity, if the diaphragm is set
to 1:2.8.
This correction is only necessary when the diaphragm is
opened fairly wide ; furthermore, it should be noted that in the
case of the telephoto lenses and of the Pan Cinor 16 mm
lens, a correction is, practically speaking, not necessary.
Stereo motion pictures
When shooting three-dimen-
sional motion pictures with
the K e r n - P a i l l a r d Stereo
equipment, the slide mask
must be inserted in the filter
slot.
In this case, however,
the gelatine filters cannot
be used, as the stereo lens
penetrates too deeply into
the turret supporting plate.
