I don't know how old this video is but I find it pretty funny that a video about high quality optics has such a low resolution.

How are they supposed to film with the high quality lens when they haven't finished assembling it? 😀

I’d guess early 1990s. The video resolution sucks, but there are several shots that suggest the camera(s) actually use a pretty impressive lens.

@@SezerPAL It’s all of the above. This was recorded on video, had it been recorded on film they could easily reformat it and release it in 4k today. This is how most properly “remastered” or reformatted movies exist. If recorded to film, at least common 16mm or 35mm stocks, there’s plenty resolution to scan them at full HD or QHD, but if recorded to video at NTSC or PAL, it sort of is what it is. Regardless, professional lenses haven’t changed much in the last 50-years.

When I was a photography student back in 1964 I spent a week in Wetzlar at the Leica factory and school. We thought it was out of this world but things have certainly moved on since then.

Means the lens is also centered. If you spin it on its axis there is no motion on the projected image. Projected on the film plane. Ultimate optical test.

I was paying attention to that. I worked at a studio where we produced technical product videos. The owner did most of the voice overs. The calmness and patience to speak repeatedly, including saying a long boring model number over and over is something to witness. It sounds like a lame boring job but the good ones really stand out, by not standing out.

In the molten liquid, the different materials separate depending on specific weight. The lighter contamination floats on the top as slag and probably is removed before casting. Heavier contaminations go down, of course. But as you saw in the video, every step is quality-checked after the operation.
