Since the proper, trademarked name is spelled with a capital S in the middle (CinemaScope) shouldn't that be the main page? A redirect could be made from Cinemascope to CinemaScope. --Jeremy Butler 01:04, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Let there be no ambiguity about it. There are many films which are erroneously claimed to be CinemaScope, but they are in fact "modern" anamorphic films made with lens elements which adjust the anamorphism to keep it on the focus plane. Which is a Panavision design by Robert Gottschalk. The CinemaScope system was completely abandoned in 1967, and the lenses were retired. Many of them are now in the hands of collectors, but the fact is that you can't really use them anymore at any rate, because the lens mounts are obsolete. So please, no vague terms. The actual camera system known as CinemaScope and using the Bausch and Lomb lenses...no longer exists. Girolamo Savonarola 03:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know why this picture is missing? I have had 2 goes at trying to upload it as both Scope_image.jpg and Scope_Image.jpg. Neither work. Also: How do you make the pictures a little bigger? 86.134.123.38 16:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Someone modified the Kowa Lens caption such that there was a claim that the 8Z was the same lens as the 16H. There is information on another discussion group that this is so (and probably the source of the claim). The 8Z had the same rear barrel diameter to the 16H and that was the limit of the similarity. The 8Z would have been totally unsuitable for use on a 16mm film camera (though it would have worked with small aperture telephoto lenses). It does not work well with most 16mm projectors (I've tried). Having seen both lenses for sale in the same shop, I can tell you that they are not the same at all. The 16H has a much larger front optic.
The article on Henri Poutine says he invented the anamorphic widescreen process that led to CinemaScope, yet he's not mentioned in the article. Does anyone know why not? Too small a role, or what?(Don't ask me - I simply happened upon his article.) Lawikitejana 00:56, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Image:Fox-CinemaScope.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I have been attempting to correct this category page by adding missing films in the listing. I had no problem with adding one film by linking it via it's primary wikipedia page - but have spent nearly two hours attempting to do the SAME THING with another film that is missing on this category page. I am newer to editing wikipedia pages, and cannot find the elusive "talk" page that is so frequently mentioned as the place to pose such a question - cannot find the "talk" page or listing on either page that I am linking - and since this issue pertains to the category page that is available via a link on this CinemaScope page I believe that posting this question here will be sufficient. I am attempting to add the movie "13 Fighting Men" to the "Films shot in CinemaScope" page. Although there is NOT an actual page for this particular movie, there is a page about the primary star of this film, "Grant Williams" and the article on Mr. Williams lists this movie in the notation covering the history of his body of film-work. Additionally, I did correct the title of the film on Mr. William's page, changing it from "Thirteen Fighting Men" (incorrect) to "13 Fighting Men" (correct). I CANNOT get this silly film listing to link to the Cinemascope category page (which does not have a "talk" discussion page)! I am NOW going on 3.5 hours of work attempting to get this to work and it DOESN'T WORK! COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE GET THIS EDIT CORRECTED! I completely give up on it and honestly, I have no more time to work on it nor fuss around with looking here and there for anything after tonight (ie: responses to this email message, checking out MORE pages of instructions that don't quite fit the situation and using the solutions suggested to no avail, etc). I care about the listing being complete and will eventually look at this list of CinemaScope films again and would really like to see it corrected if somebody knows why this edit doesn't work in this particular instance (when the same edit worked for me the other time). When I reference the page again, if I see that the film was added, I will look at this page to see how it was corrected and why there was such an issue. I do want to learn about this, but have really limited opportunities and patience (although 3.5 hours is a lot of time - so I think that I have reached my limit of patience and am completely burned out and really frustrated!) to dedicate even more energy to this issue. It would be helpful if I could see the correction made so that I could look at the edits page for Grant Williams - actually being able to see a correct edit in action. One thing that is different and the thing that I believe is causing this problem is that, unlike my successful attempts at linking to the category page, this is actually a bulleted list of his films on a page for Grant Williams and in my successes, the addition was made to a citation that was both a hyperlink AND in a paragraph. one example was an actual page specifically dedicated to the film "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation" and I linked it to a comment that I added re: the film being CinemaScope, creating a CinemaScope link and then adding the link to the "Films shot in CinemaScope" category page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lmc33 (talk) 02:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

CinemaScope → Cinemascope — Per WP:MOSTM. Trademarks that are rendered in uppercase as a matter of corporate policy rather than because of an underlying linguistic reason are to be converted to the same regular sentence case that any other proper noun would appear in. --Labattblueboy (talk) 21:09, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Despite technical differences between two CinemaScope formats, both belong to the same movie studio, 20th Century Fox. Does CinemaScope 55 meet WP:PRODUCT guideline? Shall we merge Cinemascope 55 into this article? Why or why not? George Ho (talk) 09:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
CinemaScope is the name of the process including the sound tracks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8070:21A2:A700:9284:DFF:FEF5:C9F8 (talk) 11:18, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
