Distances between opposite pairs of fiducial marks, and the angle
between the fiducial axes. The precise points involved should be thor
oughly identified.
The maximum departure (±) of the film locating surface from its
correct shape, or more complete information if required.
If requested, a table giving the radial and tangential image displa
cement at each point measured.
A statement of the accuracies of all the information provided.
Veiling Glare.
Veiling glare shall be measured in the following manner or by a
method from which equivalent results can be obtained.
Test Field.
The test field shall be equivalent to an infinite uniformly bright
Lambert’s Law surface containing a perfectly black spot. The black
spot shall be circular and its diameter shall subtend an angle of 1° ± 5'
at the lens of the camera. The illuminant shall be that of Section 1.4.
There shall be no substance other than air between the test field and
the lens or its attached filter. The black spot shall be at such a distance
that the black centre of its out of focus image in the film plane of the
camera is at least 1 mm in diameter.
Photometry.
The camera shall be used to photograph this test field on the
usual aerial emulsion held in the camera’s entire film plane in the usual
manner. Well controlled method of photographic photometry shall
be used to obtain the illumination of the centre of the image of the
black spot and the average illumination 1° 30' from it in the image of
the bright field.
note: Light scattered back into the camera by the emulsion can
contribute significantly to veiling glare. Hence, any test method
must provide a reflecting surface similar to unexposed film over
practically the entire film plane.
Field Angles.
The above measurements shall be made with the black spot on
axis and at several other positions in the field, including positions near
the edges and corners of the field. Any areas which might be affected
by reflections from asymmetrical structures in the camera shall be
investigated.
Apertures
Measurements shall be made at full aperture and at any other
desired apertures. The apertures used shall be specified in the report.
For full characterization of a type of camera tests shall be made at
three or more apertures.
