This product offers Home Cinema enthusiasts the look of wide Cinemascope in an anamorphic lens that’s 1/3 the investment of similar solutions.

The new Schneider CDA 1.33x EL lens provides the benefits of wide screen in the home while using existing small-to medium-size projectors.

A turnkey installation is quickly complete via the included Kino-Torsion motorised deployment system. Optimum image clarity is easily achieved, even by a novice, by simply focusing the elements of the anamorphic lens for uniformly
sharp imagery.

Schneider Optics Home Cinema sales manager Brian Ludvigsen says, “While we make other high-end anamorphic elements, our team recognises in this economy it is important to also offer a cost-effective alternative. The new Cine Digitar 1.33x EL lens should be the ideal for popular projectors at lower price points.”

The CDA 1.33x EL is manufactured in Germany alongside Schneider Kreuznach’s other award-winning optical products. The product delivery is scheduled for Spring 2010.
