The Photographic Lens (Media Manuals)

"The wide range of cameras for photography, film making, and video use a bewildering variety of lenses which have some very complex ancillary optical systems to assist in framing and focusing as well as data display. Other optical systems are used for the printing, manipulation, projection, and display of the images captures. All involve the human eye and visual perception at some stage. This text explains some of the basic principles of optics and image formation particular to such lenses and optical systems. Highly illustrated with detailed diagrams, this infromative yet compact text is an everyday reference tool."--the publisher.
