“The cheaper UltraScope was first used in Italian productions and in Brazil. It had its most successful period in some of the German film series of the 1960s. The most successful productions included the inexpensive Edgar Wallace films and the lavish Karl May films. UltraScope was also used in some Scandinavian productions. It was only used sporadically in the USA.”
 
…“In the mid-1950s, CinemaScope was the world's most successful brand for anamorphic widescreen films on 35mm film. In order to use CinemaScope, however, high license fees had to be paid to 20th Century Fox. The Munich-based camera manufacturer Arnold & Richter this was going to deal with the development of its own system, and thus commissioned the Norwegian Jan Jacobsen. This was possible because the anamorphic process, unlike the brand name CinemaScope, could not be protected.”
 
“Jan Jacobsen designed a new anamorphic lens system that had the same anamorphic factor as the CinemaScope sold by 20th Century Fox. The picture was taken compressed in a 2:1 ratio when it was taken, in order to be able to show it at the cinema show, rectified by an anamorphic lens, to the full 2.35: 1 film width. The production of the lenses was done by the Ultra Society for Optics in Munich, from which the name UltraScope was derived.”
