This lens is out of a private collection of lenses and camera gear that came from the Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank, California. In the early days after the development of the 20th Century Fox Cinemascope lens the other major studios rushed to get in on the widescreen format. Warner Bros. entered into an agreement with Zeiss to develop an Anamorphic lens for the studio. Warner Bros. would call the process �WARNER SCOPE�. Zeiss delivered the prototype lenses late, and by then Warner Bros. had made an arrangement with 20th Century Fox to use their Cinemascope system.It may be prototype of WARNERSCOPE lens.
