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.
