Abstract
A variable focus, variable magnification lens of new and outstanding design is described. The Varo is a “zoom” type lens, introducing the conception of a variable three-element system in place of the two-element variable telephoto system previously used for this type of work. A summary of the optical problems involved is presented, and a description of the lens showing how the mechanical design has been fitted to the optical specifications is given, together with a discussion of the relation of the rate of “zoom” to the loss of definition. The paper closes with a brief outline of the use of the lens in practice.
