Photographische Bibliothek, Nos 9 and 10 Das Fernobjektiv

Abstract

IN the first of these two books Herr Hans Schmidt has brought together a good account of the manipulations necessary for the effective and successful working of the tele-photographic lens—the lens of the future, as he terms it in his preface. He divides his subject into four parts, the first two dealing with lenses generally, and the tele-photographic lenses, namely Steinheil's, Voigtländer's, and Zeiss's, in particular. In Part iii. he discusses their employment for obtaining pictures of different styles, such as architecture, portraits, landscapes, concluding in the fourth and last part with the practical work of setting up the apparatus, and the other manipulations previous to obtaining the finished picture.
