steve_rasmussen Posted December 23, 1999 Share Posted December 23, 1999 Try Kingslake's The History of the Photographic Lens. Yes it is a book but worth it. It doesn't have the math of his Lens Design Fundamentals, fortunately. SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ward Posted December 23, 1999 Share Posted December 23, 1999 ViewCamera magazine has published several detailed and enlightening articles by Ron Wisner going into the history and specifics of each lens design. Check their website for an index to trace it down. Wisner may also provide printouts through his camera company. Check his site also. I have the sites bookmarked, but don't recall urls. Just try viewcamera.com and wisner.com. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
