Re: Eclair ACL Switar Lenses

[Les Bosher <les@lesbosher.co.uk>]

The reason Switars without AR are more expensive is that they are generally
newer , as they have been made for the Reflex Bolexes .
Thera is no different make of Switar as it is a designation by Kerne , the
manufacturer of the Lenses.
As to performance , they were made for Film , & one day , in my opinion , TV
might just come near to the quality of Film . Not many TV images get
projected onto a Cinema Screen , for instance !!!
