PHOTOGRAPHIC LENSES, Photographer’s Guide to Characteristics, Quality, Use and Design, by Ernst Wildi. This book provides readers with practical information about the characteristics and optics of lenses, how they function and the advantages and disadvantages of various types. The basics of lens design are related to actual performance, and readers will also learn how to evaluate lens quality. Wildi approaches the topic of lenses and optics not from a scientific perspective, but from a photographer’s point of view. This helps target the information precisely to the needs of photographers who want to create images of the highest possible quality.
