    "abstract": "Since 1896, starting with the Edison/ Jenkins Vitascope movie demonstrations in New York, all motion picture film projectors have required a cinema projection lens. Unlike film projector manufacturers, the cinema lens businesses were only a sideline of larger optical firms. The many optical designs were never fully integrated into the engineering of the projection systems. This historical paper series will review lens design changes and their effects during the past six decades. It will also consider why cinema lenses always yielded less than optimum focus quality when used with new formats. It will explain the mysteries of “overall focus” and “more light.” Also included are salient events on the business side of the motion picture industry. The key question remains: “Are cinema lenses still the most misunderstood component in the film projection system?”",

        "bio": "Glenn Berggren, a Life Fellow of SMPTE, entered the cinema equipment industry in 1962, joining Kollmorgen Optical. After years with firms such as Chrysler (car engineering) and General Electric (stereo sound), he accepted the challenge of non-military marketing with Kollmorgen, the submarine periscope maker. After two years with Kollmorgen, Berggren became the cinema industry's “lens-man.” Because of complaints about faulty screen images, he sought answers from the specialists at Kodak, Century, Strong, Simplex, and other cinema equipment makers, but answers were rarely found. Between 1962 and 2004, he completed Ultra-Vision and other major R & D programs and inventions and is solely responsible for six different cinema lens series. Berggren moved to Wil-Kin/Atlanta in 1968 to join the Ultra-Vision R & D program. He later went to ISCO in 1976, then Optical Radiation Corp. in 1980. He obtained six Academy Technical Awards for screen image factors: two for Kollmorgen, one for Ultra-Vision, and the other three for ISCO lens series. His primary contributions to the cinema industry are the permanent change in design concepts for all film cinema lens designs; the six lens series, the RP-40 test film, and the SMPTE performance standards of the Theatrical Projection Technology Committee where he was chair on four separate occasions. He has authored hundreds of articles and technical papers and continues to work as a consultant.",
