Pacific Optical Corp, USA. Palar PAM, USA? Pacific Optical Corp, USA. They are noted for one known item which seems to have been a very innovative one. A reference to it has been seen in an old USA magazine suggesting it was really very early for a fish lens. Perifoto cine lens, fish type, f1.5/3.5mm (0.1364in) for 165°coverage, for 16mm cine. Seen at No 34x, Model 730A, this has a large (4.5in dia, 4.5in deep) black barrel, which in this case seems to have lost the iris and filters with a big front negative lens well in front of a tiny rear system. It has only limited back focus, and was probably suitable for 16mm but not for larger cameras. Fig 031 008 Pacific Optical Corp, 165° Fish No730A-344. Palar These were SLR lenses listed in May 1968-May1972 for Japanese Cameras, 50 Piccadilly, Tunstall, Stoke-on Trent, UK. Palar preset: f3.5/25mm; f3.5/35mm; f2.8/35mm; f2.8/105mm; f3.5/135mm; f2.8,135mm; f4.5/200mm; f5.5/350mm; f8.0/500mm; f8.0/600mm; f8.0, 800mm; f5.6, 100-200mm. Enlarging lenses (1968) Palar f2.8/40mm; f3.5/50mm; f3.5/75mm; f4-f4.5/105mm. Fully auto iris for M42 only: f2.8/28mm; f2.8/35mm; f2.8/135mm; f3.5/135mm; f3.5/200mm; f5.0/300mm. PAM, USA? They were the makers of a moderately common M39 lens the Britar f4.5/105mm early postwar in alloy mount, now often stained. Fig 011 017 PAM Britar f4.5/105mm in M39. Panagor The agent in 05/1972 was R.J.Farley, Ltd., 67 Mill Lane, London NW6. They are noted for an Auto Macro Converter, essentially an extension tube with a variable power optic for close-up mounted inside it. The leaflet has no other name on it. (USPat 4,030,113, W.Germany, Pat 2,545,950) A advert. in May 1972 lists: Panagor f4.0 21mm retrofocus superwide for SLR's Panagor f2.5 28mm same 8glass/6 component design A 04/1971 advert. shows lens number 30,252 on a 28mm lens. Panagor f2.8 135mm Panagor f3.5 200mm This was a 5 glass/ 4 component design. Panagor Zoom 85-205mm These were all fully auto iris, and in most fittings but bayonet mounts were at extra cost. There were extension tubes and a 2x tele converter to extend the range. By 04/1973 they were Super Panagor and there were two 28mm versions, f2.5 for Canon, Minolta, Pentax, and f2.8 for Canon FTb type ie FD type iris. Panavision Inc, Los Angeles, Cal., USA. Agent for UK Samuelson Film Service. This is a trade name of a anamorphic wide screen process and lead to lenses such as 70mm Panavision anamorphic attachment lenses for 1.25x (stretch?) normally in pairs. The cameras and lenses are rented, never sold: the cameras normally use 35mm film. In B.J.P. 19/10/1979, p1019 some lenses were listed: Ultra Speed Panavision T1.0 50mm Super Speed T1.1 55mm Super Speed T1.5 150mm Anamorphic T1.1 50mm The new 'Golden Panaflex' was introduced in 1980 (B.J.P. 26/09/1980 p944) with a new series of Golden Panatar ultra speed lenses comprising: T2.2/28mm; T1.4/35mm; T1.4/40mm; T1.1/50mm; T1.6/75mm; T1.6/100mm; T1.6/150mm. These all had a front anamorphotic squeeze element, or 'flat' without the front unit. These was also a new T1.9 20-125mm Ultrazoom in flat or with a rear anamorphot unit for T2.8/40-250mm. A UK rental list (£) for 1992 has a set of Panavision Primo lenses all T1.9 as 17.5mm, 21mm, 35mm, 40mm or 50mm, 75mm. Rental was 585 per week. There was also an Ultra Speed set as T1.3 at 24mm, 35mm, 40mm, T1.0 at 50mm and T1.6 at 75mm. Rental was 435 per week. There was a 'Standard' lens set as T2.8 at 24mm, 32mm; T2.0 at 40mm, 50mm, 75mm. This was along with a very wide selection of other lenses by all the leading makers including Zeiss, Leitz, Canon, Angenieux, TTH Cooke, Bausch & Lomb and Kinoptic- and others. Panomar This was a trade name used by St James Photographic, College Cresc., London, NW3 5DN for a fish eye lens for 145° f8.0/12mm It was available in most mounts and reduced from over £50 to £28. Panon, Japan. Lux lens f2.8/26mm used on Panon Widelux 77 camera, noted at No 46,45x, 466,92x and 472,30x- these seem far apart. There is a report at auction of a Panon f3.5/5cm also being fitted to some cameras. These are the Panon Wide Angle camera, and can include Hexar and Hexanon lenses. (These may well be by Konica.) Panorax Optical Industry Co., Tokyo, Japan. They made a 360° panoramic camera, Panorax-Z1, which used a Panolar f3.5/40mm lens, which was noted at auction at No435. Papillon & LaPerriere, France. They are listed by FBB as making a field camera in 1899 with a Papillon anastigmat or RR. It may be a bought-in lens. PasOptik, Japan. Agent P.Sheen, POB 120, Stroud Glos. GL6-8YP, UK. Two lenses for M39x26 mount were listed in the late 1990's and reviewed favourably by R. Hicks in B.J.P. 06/11/1996 p23 as follows: f2.8 21mm actually 20.98mm focus. 8g/6component design, probably a 'Russar' type layout as it is symmetrical and deep sunk to within 10mm of the film plane. Some multicoating, some single. f3.5 28mm actually 27.96m focus. This is a tiny lens, of 6g/4c design, also part multicoated. Hicks felt they were quite in keeping with the high quality of the cameras and prices were well below the camera makers lenses and a good bargain. Note that few M39 lenses had then been marketed for many years except from Russia- or for enlarging. Pathe, France. An early wooden Pathe had a 75mm=3in lens merely marked "Cinematographes Pathe, Paris". Pax Various fixed lenses were fitted but little information is available here. An example is: Luminor f3.5 45mm Triplet type. Paxette- see Braun, Nurnberg, Germany. Paxoramic- The name occurs on a lens used on a Lunar Orbiter 1966-1967. It was a f5.6/610mm lens and the maker is unknown here. Pearson and Denham, 5 New Station St, Leeds, UK. They were noted in the 1889 BJA p168 as selling Rapid Rectilinears in 4 sizes as well as other agented items. 5.5in, for 5x4in; 8in for 1/2plate; 9in for 8x5in; 10.5in for 1/1plate. Pelepar Trade name on a f3.5 0.5in Pelepar tele lens for 8mm use listed in Am Photo 06/06/1962 p11 at £3.95. Penrose, as in Hunter-Penrose., Baker St., London. They were active from the 1890's and some of their lenses can be engraved, typically Penrose, and some are also marked with the lens maker, eg. Wray. Pentax, or Asahi Optical Co Ltd., CPO 895, Tokyo, Japan. Three lens mounts are involved for 35mm SLR cameras: Asahiflex screw, Pentax M42 screw, and Pentax bayonet. Adaptors from screw to bayonet were made. Some restrictions existed with different maker's M42 screw lenses due to the position and length of the auto iris pin and care is needed in fitting unknown lenses to cameras. Takumars are desirable and generally have held their price very well but were originally very successful products so that many types are in reasonable supply. Thus they sell on quality rather than scarcity. In dating them, note the iris type. Some of the very earliest were plain iris, but essentially they developed as auto spring wound, the fully auto, (Super) and then SMC (Super Multi Coated). There is a measure of compatibility with autofocus cameras. (E) has been added where the lens can be noted as an early one in the programme. Pentax created a major stir with the launch of multicoating about 04/1974, [Popular Photography noting it on p79. They discuss the use of layers of magnesium fluoride (MgF2) of different thicknesses to optimize transmission at different frequencies and the use of several layers to improve on the use of a single layer as was initially done. This period was responsible for Canon's 'Spectra Coating', Konica's 'Color Dynamic Coating' and Minolta's 'Achromatic Coating' as well as the many brightly colored coats on other-brand lenses.] But Optical Coatings Laboratory Inc. (OCLI) of USA with Balzers of Germany went further than others though the result was initially used non-photographically as 'High Efficiency Antireflection Coating' or 'HEA'. The patent here used 6 layers of MgF2 and Zirconium Oxide ZrO2 deposited alternately beginning with Zr (next glass?) and ending with MgF2 as the top (outer?) layer. The layers require accurate instrumental control during deposition but some tuning of thicknesses is possible to correct minor deviations and match different types of glass. They tried to sell the idea to some camera lens makers but initially failed: Pentax adopted it and modified the coats to work without giving the yellow color shift HEA did, as a new process 'PhotoHEA' and began to use it on the f1.4/50mm for the new Spotmatic II in Jan 1971. This involved 7 layers. One point is that the layers in coatings can include optically inactive ones for adhesion eg to glass, for barrier and for outer protection.

    Carl Zeiss, 32, Wagnergasse, Jena, Germany. ((1847) also: 29/II Dorotheen strasse 29, Berlin, Germany. (1901) and 29, Margaret St, Regent St, London W (1901) The founder, Carl Zeiss (1816-1888) was born in Weimar, the son of a cabinet maker and ivory carver. He graduated from school in 1834, qualified to be apprenticed to the Grand Dukes Instrument maker, Dr Koerner, and attended academic courses as well as working as apprentice. Next he travelled from Jan. 1838 to Oct. 1845 to study in Stuttgart, Darmstadt, Vienna, and Berlin to broaden his experience. Back at home, he studied chemistry and higher mathematics. By May 1845, he felt well enough qualified to apply to the County Administration at Weimar for permission to found "An establishment for the production of advanced mechanical devices", hoping for a relationship with the University to advance designs. Money was tight with capital of 100 Thalers (possibly £100) only, but in Nov. 1846, he opened at 7, Neugasse. It remained a small business for years, as it took some 20 years for the University relationship to be productive, and he often grew weary of the trial and error methods traditionally used in the trade. Much of the production was of microscopes- often relatively simple ones by modern standards, such as dissection viewers. Then in 1863, a young lecturer Ernst Abbe (1840-1905) joined the University to teach physics and astronomy. Zeiss approached him in 1866 for cooperation in the design of improved systems and this lead to new ideas, eg in the Abbe refractometer (1869), a comparator and a spectrometer.

  • Carl Zeiss Oberkochen Large Format Lenses 1950-1972
    Large format lenses from Carl Zeiss Oberkochen 1950-1972 © 2013-2019 Arne Cröll – All Rights Reserved (this version is from October 4, 2019) Carl Zeiss Jena and Carl Zeiss Oberkochen Before and during WWII, the Carl Zeiss company in Jena was one of the largest optics manufacturers in Germany. They produced a variety of lenses suitable for large format (LF) photography, including the well- known Tessars and Protars in several series, but also process lenses and aerial lenses. The Zeiss-Ikon sister company in Dresden manufactured a range of large format cameras, such as the Zeiss “Ideal”, “Maximar”, Tropen-Adoro”, and “Juwel” (Jewel); the latter camera, in the 3¼” x 4¼” size, was used by Ansel Adams for some time. At the end of World War II, the German state of Thuringia, where Jena is located, was under the control of British and American troops. However, the Yalta Conference agreement placed it under Soviet control shortly thereafter. Just before the US command handed the administration of Thuringia over to the Soviet Army, American troops moved a considerable part of the leading management and research staff of Carl Zeiss Jena and the sister company Schott glass to Heidenheim near Stuttgart, 126 people in all [1]. They immediately started to look for a suitable place for a new factory and found it in the small town of Oberkochen, just 20km from Heidenheim. This led to the foundation of the company “Opton Optische Werke” in Oberkochen, West Germany, on Oct. 30, 1946, initially as a full subsidiary of the original factory in Jena.

  • Since Questions About Docter Optic Lenses Come up in This
    Large Format Lenses from Docter Optic 1991-1996 © 2003-2020 Arne Cröll – All Rights Reserved (this version is from July 16, 2020 – the first version of this article appeared in “View Camera” Sept./Oct. 2003) Docter Optic and Carl Zeiss Jena Docter Optic was originally a small West-German optics company, founded in 1984 by the late Bern- hard Docter - hence the company name, no relation to academic titles or a medical background [1-3]. They were located in Schwalbach near Wetzlar and made projection and lighting optics, car headlight optics, etc., mostly as supplier for original equipment manufacturers (OEM). Their specialty was a glass blank molding process for aspherical optical elements, invented by Bernhard Docter. The com- pany expanded later with two more production facilities in and near Wetzlar. In 1989 they bought an Austrian subsidiary, which had originally been the optics department of Eumig, an Austrian manufac- turer of home movie projectors. Also in 1989, the Berlin wall came down. Subsequently, Germany was reunited in October 1990, followed by the privatization of the nationalized companies of the GDR through the “Treuhand” trustee management that took over those companies. This included the VEB Carl Zeiss Jena and all its production facilities as described in another article [4]. Docter Optic bought several plants of the for- mer VEB Carl Zeiss Jena in 1991. In August of that year, Docter acquired the production facilities in Saalfeld, Thuringia, the former “OAS” plant, which had produced most of the Carl Zeiss Jena photo- graphic optics in the GDR. Docter also bought another Carl Zeiss Jena plant making binoculars and rifle sights in nearby Eisfeld at the same time, as well as a third Zeiss plant making optical components in Schleiz.
