A projection zoom lens assembly for a digital cinema projection system includes three optical groups. A first optical group includes one or more wide angle lenses for projecting digital cinema images. A second optical group includes a set of zoom optical groups each comprising two or more lenses, including a first independently movable zoom group, a second independently movable zoom group, and a third zoom group. A third optical group includes multiple lenses for receiving images for projection.

An optical assembly for a wide field of view digital camera includes, from object end to image end, first and second optical groups separated by an aperture stop. The optical assembly is configured to provide images with TV distortion that is less than 16. The first optical group includes two or more lens elements, including a first lens element having a largest diameter among the multiple lens elements to collect light at said wide field of view. The second optical group includes a doublet, which is configured to compensate for oblique aberrational error, and an aspheric lens element, which is configured to compensate for astigmatism error.

A mobile device case for coupling around a mobile device that includes a miniature camera module has defined therein a lens attachment aperture shaped both to permit light from an object to be captured as a digital image to travel along the optical path of the miniature camera module to a built-in image sensor of the miniature camera module of the mobile device, and to facilitate stable coupling of an auxiliary lens in optical alignment with the miniature camera module. The case comprises electric circuit components positioned to balance an attached auxiliary lens approximately at a grip location.

An optical assembly for a point action camera or other compact digital camera having a wide field of view, includes multiple lens elements, including at least one lens element that has an aspheric lens surface. The optical assembly is configured to provide a field of view in excess of 120 degrees. The optical assembly has a modulation transfer function (hereinafter 'MTF') at the Nyquist frequency that is above 0.3 and a MTF at half Nyquist frequency that is above 0.5 across the wide field of view.
