Study Notes
Types of Lenses
- Anastigmatic Lens: free from astigmatism and other aberrations, focuses vertically and horizontal lines simultaneously
- Achromatic Lens: partly corrected for chromatic aberration, images projected are free of fringes of various colors
- Process Lens: super corrected lens with a flat field and good color correction, used by photo engravers
- Convertible Lens: two-component lens that can be used separately or in combination
- Fixed Focused Lens: used in inexpensive cameras, has a short length and proportionate depth of field
Lens Aberrations
- Chromatic Aberration: corrected by Achromatic Lens
- Astigmatism: corrected by Anastigmat Lens
- Distortion: corrected by Rapid-Rectilinear Lens
- Higher degree of correction to color: corrected by Apochromatic Lens
Lens Diaphragm and Aperture
- Diaphragm: metal diaphragm that can be expanded or constricted to control the amount of light passing through the lens
- Aperture: the diameter of the lens opening, indicated by f-numbers
- Function of Diaphragm: controller of speed, depth of field, and definitions
- Diaphragm as controller of speed: regulates the amount of light passing through the lens
Camera Lens Definition
- Camera Lens: a transparent material made of glass or plastic with two opposite symmetrical and spherical surfaces
- Function of Lens: refracts light rays to form an image of an object
- Lens: permits light to pass through, changing the direction of light rays to form an image
Seven Main Groups of Lenses
- Simple Meniscus Lens: found in simple cameras, not corrected for any aberrations
- Rapid Rectilinear Lens: a combination of two achromatic elements, corrected for some aberrations but not astigmatism
