Features: This book is based on the lecture notes of the author while teaching "Camera and Photographic Optics" at the Film and Television Photography Academy of Beijing Film Academy. The book strives to omit the more complex and profound content in optics and lens structure, aiming to introduce optical knowledge directly related to photography and basic optical calculation methods in an accessible way. Subsequently, through chapters on lens focal length and optical quality selection, depth of field control, and lens evaluation, readers gradually master the knowledge and skills of selecting and using lenses. Each chapter includes a large number of review questions, selected from the author's accumulated question bank over years of teaching. Readers can choose and fill in the blanks before studying each chapter by referring to the answers. This book can be used for a 32-hour lecture course on "Photographic Optics and Lenses" for photography undergraduates, as well as for amateur photography enthusiasts who wish to improve their skills.
