Selecting Slide Projection Lenses When buying a lens, consider features such as focal length (measured in millimetres), aperture (designed as an f/stop), and the lens design (curved or flat). When selecting a lens, remember that the shorter the focal length (i. e. , the smaller the f/number), the brighter the projected image. Also, a curved-field lens, in combination with cardboard open face mounts from an automated mounting process, provide superior projection quality. A flat-field lens is the best choice for glass-mounted slides. KODAK CAROUSEL® Slide Projector 13 Operation Choosing a Curved- The lens you select depends on how you use your projector and what type of slide mount you use. So that you may choose the lens that best meets your or Flat-Field Lens needs, we do not include a lens with the projector. To obtain the best results of a projected image, insert slides with the emulsion side toward the projection lens, slide curve toward the light source. A flat-field lens works best for: · general home projection · glass mounts · plastic mounts · mixed mounts · non-embossed cardboard mounts · rear-projection applications · duplicated slides A curved-field lens works best for: · embossed cardboard mounts (Embossed mounts have beveled edges around the aperture. Kodak Premium Processing and Kodak Processing labs provide embossed mounts. ) Lens Focal Length/ Use the illustration on the following page to help determine the lens focal Projector Distance length and projector distance. 14 KODAK CAROUSEL® Slide Projector Operation KODAK CAROUSEL® Slide Projector 15 Operation Editing Your Presentation Removing the Lock Ring To add or remove slides in the tray, you must first remove the lock ring.
