New chapters include details of filters, measurements from images and the optical systems of digital cameras. Details of electronic and digital imaging have been integrated throughout. More information is given on topics such as aspherics, diffractive optics, ED glasses, image stabilization, optical technology, video projection and new types of lenses. A selection of the contents includes chapters on: optical theory, aberrations, auto focus, lens testing, depth of field, development of photographic lenses, general properties of lenses, wide-angle lenses, telephoto lenses, video lenses, viewfinder systems, camera movements, projection systems and 3-D systems.
Download or read book A History of the Photographic Lens written by Rudolf Kingslake and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1989-11-22 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lens is generally the most expensive and least understood part of any camera. In this book, Rudolf Kingslake traces the historical development of the various types of lenses from Daguerre's invention of photography in 1839 through lenses commonly used today. From an early lens still being manufactured for use in low-cost cameras to designs made possible through such innovations as lens coating, rare-earth glasses, and computer aided lens design and testing, the author details each major advance in design and fabrication. The book explains how and why each new lens type was developed, and why most of them have since been abandoned. This authoritative history of lens technology also includes brief biographies of several outstanding lens designers and manufacturers of the past.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ...States of America, the following, in which the relative aperture /: 4 forms the unit. The times of exposure given in the second line of figures are also the stop numbers according to the Uniform System used on most American cameras.--Translator.. A, Since the squares of the units of lightfstrength of the two systems have the ratio 10:4 we obtain the time of exposure in one system from the corresponding number of the other system by multiplying or dividing by 1.6. If, for instance, with a stop/: 6.3 in the upper system we expose five seconds, for /: 8 in the lower, we must expose 5 x 1.6 = 8 seconds. In order to save the photographer the work of calculation, the objectives of the Carl Zeiss optical works are figured on the system of P. Rudolph, according to brightness, in which the brightness for the stop /: 50 is made equal to unity. We thus get the following scale for the stop numbers: In the fourth system the time of exposure is given as the stop number, so that the numbers increase as the stops decrease, while in Rudolph's system they decrease. Stops Of An Objective Set.--We may call attention in this place to the fact that the designation of the stops for a given light-strength undergoes some complication, when the same stop must be used for several objectives. This case occurs when several objectives with front stops are united in a set which also comprises their combinations. Thus, from a set of three halves, six objectives may be combined, and, therefore, there are as many stop divisions, different from each other, required. Placing all these scales on the lens tube beside the turning ring of the iris stop is in general not to be recommended because of the small space available. It is, therefore, preferable, as P. Rudolph has...

Download or read book Science for the Curious Photographer written by Charles S. Johnson, Jr. and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are many books that teach the "how-to" of photography, Science for the Curious Photographer is a book for those who also want to understand how photography works. Beginning with an introduction to the history and science of photography, Charles S. Johnson, Jr. addresses questions about the principles of photography, such as why a camera needs a lens, how lenses work, and why modern lenses are so complicated. Addressing the complex aspects of digital photography, the book discusses color management, resolution, "noise" in images, and the limits of human perception. The creation and appreciation of art in photography is discussed from the standpoint of modern cognitive science. A crucial read for those seeking the scientific context to photographic practice, this second edition has been comprehensively updated, including discussion of DSLRs, mirror-less cameras, and a new chapter on the limits of human vision and perception.
Download or read book The Lens written by NK Guy and published by Rocky Nook, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which lens should I buy for my camera? It's such a simple question, but choosing the right lens or lenses is actually one of the most important photographic decisions you can make. Nothing affects the quality of a photo more than the lens. It's no longer just about the megapixels-it's the glass that makes all the difference! Many first-time buyers of DSLRs don't venture past the basic lens included in the box. While some are reluctant to spend more money, others are confused by all the buzzwords or are overwhelmed by all the choices out there. It's really a shame, because interchangeable lenses give you amazing scope for quality photography. Take in vast sweeping scenes with a wide angle lens. Capture faraway birds with a telephoto lens. Examine the tiniest detail of a flower with a macro lens. Record the perfect portrait with a prime lens. Anything is possible when you choose the right lens for the job! This book isn't a simple catalogue of available lenses. New products are coming out all the time, and comparing specific lenses can be difficult. Instead, author N.K. Guy gives you all the information you need to make smart buying decisions. Optical technology is demystified, arcane terminology is decoded, and practical tips are provided. The Lens will help you build the perfect lens collection to suit your needs-now and in the future.
