QC 351 A7 no. 59 / The optical properties of two prisms combined as a single anamorphic element are discussed. There is a family of solutions for which the angular magnification versus field angle is U-shaped. Thus there are regions for which the angular magnification is almost constant. The distortions associated with these regions are explored. It is shown how distortion can be effectively eliminated over a restricted field by cascading a negative and a positive anamorphic element.
