P3D Kingslake's "Optics in Photography" - IV

["Dr. George A. Themelis" <DrT-3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chapter 9 is about Enlarging and Projection Systems.  The chapter on 
Projection helped me finally understand the function of the condenser 
(project the image of the lamp filament into the lens) and the role of 
the mirrors behind the lamps of the TDC projectors.  Now I am ready to 
take another look into my 116 and teak it for best performance!

Chapter 10 is titled "Stereoscopic Photography".  A good overview of 
the field, even though many of us already know a lot more in our topic 
of interest.

Chapter 11 discusses "Shutters and Flash", while chapter 12 is about 
"Camera Viewfinders and Rangefinders".  

Overall, this books is an excellent reference in the many aspects of 
photography for the technically minded or for those who would like to 
know "how things work".  After reading the book, I put is aside for 
future reference and I am sure I will be coming back in the near future.

As I mentioned in the beginning, I liked the book so much that I obtained 
a number of copies for resale.  You can buy the book directly from the 
publisher (SPIE, The International Society for Optical Engineering, 
PO Box 10, Bellingham WA 98227) or get it from me for the same price.  
Please see my posting in sell-3d or email me directly for details.
