  2. Camera lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lens

    A camera lens (also known as photographic lens or photographic objective) is an optical lens or assembly of lenses used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically. There is no major difference in principle ...

  3. Lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    A diagram of imaging with a single thick lens imaging. H 1 and H 2 are principal points where principal planes of the thick lens cross the optical axis. If the object and image spaces are the same medium, then these points are also nodal points. A camera lens forms a real image of a distant object.

  4. Photographic lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_lens_design

    Varifocal lenses are also used in many modern autofocus cameras as the lenses are cheaper and simpler to construct and the autofocus can take care of the re-focussing requirements. Many modern zoom lenses are now confocal, meaning that the focus is maintained throughout the zoom range. Because of the need to operate over a range of focal ...

    However, for the record: the first autofocus lens for a still camera was the Konishiroku Konica Hexanon 38mm f/2.8 [171] built into the Konica C35 AF (1977, Japan) 35mm point-and-shoot; the first autofocus lens for an SLR camera was the unnamed 116mm f/8 [172] built into the Polaroid SX-70 Sonar (1978, USA) instant film SLR; the first ...

  6. Fresnel lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens

    There are two main types of Fresnel lens: imaging and non-imaging. Imaging Fresnel lenses use segments with curved cross-sections and produce sharp images, while non-imaging lenses have segments with flat cross-sections, and do not produce sharp images. [63] As the number of segments increases, the two types of lens become more similar to each ...

  7. Zoom lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_lens

    A zoom lens is a system of camera lens elements for which the focal length (and thus angle of view) can be varied, as opposed to a fixed-focal-length (FFL) lens (prime lens). A true zoom lens or optical zoom lens is a type of parfocal lens, one that maintains focus when its focal length changes. [1] Most consumer zoom lenses do not maintain ...

  8. Science of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_photography

    Science of photography. The science of photography is the use of chemistry and physics in all aspects of photography. This applies to the camera, its lenses, physical operation of the camera, electronic camera internals, and the process of developing film in order to take and develop pictures properly. [ 1 ]

  9. Telecentric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecentric_lens

    Telecentric lens. Bi-telecentric lens with 208 mm diameter front element and a C-mount camera interface. A telecentric lens is a special optical lens (often an objective lens or a camera lens) that has its entrance or exit pupil, or both, at infinity. The size of images produced by a telecentric lens is insensitive to either the distance ...
