We show you the different flavours of widescreen cinema from Cinerama, over Cinemacope to 70mm and Techniscope. We show you why anamorphic fell out of hollywoods favour, and why it made it back. We explain the physics behind anamorphic lenses and what makes the image so diffrent to normal spherical lenses, what problems come with the process, practically and optically, we explore principles different lens designs, the fashion of anamorphic throughout cinemas history.
