The lens of a camera ultimately determines the true quality of a photograph. It is compa-rable to the human eye. What you see is the projected image from your eye to your retina. This image is finally interpreted by your brain. In digital photography, the image is projected by the Variogon lens (the camera's eye) to the Color Science Chip (the camera's retina). From this electronic sensor it is delivered to the intelligent software algorithms (the camera's brain). Kodak, well known for its intensive research and development of imaging technologies, is leading the way with its Color Science Chip. In conjunction with the Color Science Chip, the Variogon lens delivers fascinating, brilliant color prints, delighting
the most astute photographer.

Variogon lenses deliver vivid color and sharp details in most lighting conditions, from dimly lit interiors to sunlit exteriors. With all our lenses, from wide-angle to true telephoto, you'll witness striking edge-to-edge brightness and sharpness.
 

Variogon lenses consist of aspheric elements to produce a compact lens that can go virtually anywhere to capture stunning photos. These aspheric elements prevent distortions and the loss of edge sharpness that can be created by spherical lenses.

In high zoom Kodak Easyshare digital cameras, extra low dispersion glass elements are utilized to reduce chromatic aberrations that are difficult to control in high-ratio zoom lenses. The result is reduced  flare, enhanced contrast and sharpness, and saturated colors in all zoom ranges.
