Bausch & Lomb began producing camera lenses for the motion picture industry in
1915. Its Super Cinephor projection lens became the industry standard when it was
introduced in 1922. Bausch & Lomb helped revolutionize the movie-going experience
in 1952 with the introduction of the CinemaScope lens by 20th Century Fox. The new
technology was so popular that MGM and Warner Brothers quickly took it up as well. In
1955, the Motion Picture Academy of America honored Bausch & Lomb with an Academy
Award the Oscar for its contributions to the industry.

Five Experimental Flaring Attachments
The horizontal flare created by certain anamorphic lenses has
led to many discussions in recent years. On the one hand, this
optical imperfection is quite irritating because it highly impacts
the impression of the images. On the other hand, its technical
look is appreciated as an additional design element, especially
in action films and commercials.

The HydroHead is a waterproof remote pan

our RemoteAquaCams. The HydroHeads light
weight and low profile, combined with the tubular
hydrodynamics of the RemoteAquaCams, allow
this system to glide through the water with less

Each model of the splash bag is made from high quality material that is molded to fit snugly around the
camera and lens. The units are sealed with specialized watertight zippers. All metal parts are either
stainless steel or anodized aluminium.
It is important to remember that these housings are not suitable for prolonged use under water, and
they are not an inexpensive replacement for more expensive aluminium deep water housings.

onto the support

05 Mount the support of
the periscope as shown
in the picture.
06 Ensure that the locking
clamp brackets at the
back of the housing are fully open, and then gently slide
the housing over the periscope. Ensure that the support
rods locate into the front support brackets inside the hou-
sing. Adjust the position of the housing and check if the
lens locking ring is in the center of the lens port, then lock
the rear clamps.
07 Attach the PL adapter to the periscope, and select the
lens. Set the lens focus on infinity, and the iris fully
open.
08 Check that the o-ring on the housing is in position, unda-
maged, and has been greased slightly. Select the most
suitable lens extension port and gently screw it on the
housing ensuring that it is fully screwed on. At this stage
it may be necessary to slightly adjust the position of the
Periscope Underwater Housing in order to keep the lens
in the middle of the lens port.
09 The yellow colored protective spray cover consists of
two parts. Attach the lower part (with window) to the
Periscope Underwater Housing. The window has to be
aligned to the camera display. Attach the second part of
the cover (with zipper) to the first part. Begin at the black
arrow on the first part.The four openings allow to insert
eyepiece, focus & iris whips, as well as the cabeling.
10 To avoid damage to the glass ports, ensure that the pro-
tective covers are in place at all times when they are not
in use.
