TELEPHOTO LENS

Loch Ness Investigation Telephoto Lens. 1962 -72.

Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, during the 1960s, utilised huge 36 inch Newman lenses throughout 10 years of surface surveillance.

The 36" telephoto lens was attached to a 35mm movie camera. The objective was to achieve photographic records of the highest possible quality of the phenomena reported by many eyewitnesses and especially to reveal details of any head and neck exposed by any unusual creature.

The Newman lens had a 140ft width of field at a mile range. An object only one foot wide could be recorded at that range.

A continuous vigil was maintained from the expedition’s base on high ground at Achnahannet, awaiting the calm weather associated with monster sightings. Then vehicles mounting cameras were dispatched to vantage points along the north western shore. A number of inconclusive films were shot.
