A classic work on photographic optics, Optics: The Technique of Definition by Arthur Cox is one of the most respected references published by Focal Press. This 7th Revised Edition (1959) explains the principles of photographic lenses and image definition in an easy-to-understand, non-mathematical style. Topics include lens design, focal length, aperture, depth of field, image sharpness, aberrations, perspective and the optical principles behind high-quality photography. A highly desirable reference for collectors of vintage photography books, camera enthusiasts and analogue photography practitioners.
Condition: The dust jacket is rough with age-related wear, however the hardcover book itself is in very good condition. There is a previous owner's name neatly written at the top of the first page. The binding is tight, and the pages are clean, crisp and highly readable. Please refer to the photographs as they form part of the description.
Packed carefully for safe delivery.
