Technical Details behind Photography and Lens Designs,
This review is from: Applied Photographic Optics, Second Edition: Lenses and Optical Systems for Photography, Film, Video and Electronic Imaging (Paperback)
I saw this book by chance when I was browsing through photography books in a local book store. My first impression was that this book was tick, very technical and expensive. But curiosty forced me to purchase it. The book is now standing in my book shelf among other photography books until oneday. I bought another book by John Fielder (Photographing the Landscape) and came across discussion about depth of field. John showed in his book a table of hyperfocal distances for various focal length lens at various aperature opening. I have a lens which is not included in the table, so I was very curious how hyperfocal distances were calculated. Right away I pull out this book, and without any trouble I was able to find the formula to calculate hyperfocal distances with all the assumptions and limitations. Boy, I was impressed! If you are a serious photographer, and those who like to find out details in lens design and calculations in photography, this book is for you. A very good reference book. |
