...I've written an entire series on Lens Design and related info.
OK, so I went overboard with this one! Sourced and read several books, spent a few long hours compiling information, created my own diagrams, and so on.
"Photography and Lens Design" includes a lens glossary, landmarks of nineteenth century design, the history of symmetrical lenses (double Gauss), and a dive into Carl Zeiss nomenclature (Planar, Tessar, Sonnar, Distagon, etc.). Finally, some references.
Discover the heritage your favourite lens shares with the Lee Opic of 1920 or Willy Merté's Biotar (1927).
It all starts here.
