Abstract

Abstract A photographic objective particularly adapted for use during exposure or projection of supermicrofilm. The objective has a viewing angle on the order of + OR - 12* with a relatively large aperture having an F-number of 1.4, the magnification being on the order of 1/100. At the same time the objective has highly favorable aberration conditions and is well-suited to be used with supermicrofilm.
