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.

Download or read book The Complete Book of Photographic Lenses written by Joseph Meehan and published by Amphoto Books. This book was released on 1991 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite the explosion of new technology in recent years, photography is still based on certain unalterable principles involving light and lenses. The Complete Book of Photographic Lenses examines every type of lens for every format, from how to choose it to how to use it. Joseph Meehan describes the basic design and operation of standard, wide-angle, telephoto, and specialized lenses, and gives an overview of their history. For example, Meehan explains that the versatile standard lens is a fine choice for both 3/4-length and tighter profile shots. He also shows why wide-angle lenses are ideal for vistas and explains how fisheye lenses exaggerate foreground objects. The corresponding illustrations--beautiful photographs and detailed diagrams--clarify each concept." "Next, closeup and enlarging lenses are described, including specifics on macro zooms, extension tubes, bellows, diopters, and copy lenses. The section on telephoto lenses contains extensive information on film formats, aspect ratios, mirror lenses, tele-zooms, angle of view , compression, selective focus, and depth of field. The chapter on wide-angle lenses covers various wide-angle focal lengths, fisheye lenses, wide-angle zooms, perspective control, and metering problems." "Best of all, this book goes beyond fundamentals to explore how lens selection affects the content and composition of your photographs. Meehan discusses how to successfully frame pictures and how to compose action shots, and shows how different focal lengths produce different interpretations of a subject. The book concludes with information on lens testing and aberrations, special-purpose lenses (such as the soft-focus lens), filters, lens accessories, tripods and other stabilizing devices, and projector screens." "The Complete Book of Photographic Lenses is so comprehensive that it will never go out of date. This invaluable resource will help photographers who use 35mm, medium-format, large format, and panoramic cameras make the best lens choices for their creative efforts."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
