Cameras and Lenses provides a full appraisal of available equipment; it discusses what each item does best, and how to select cameras and lenses to suit a specific task. The whole range of photographic equipment is covered, from cameras (35mm, automatic, viewfinder, rollfilm, instant, view panoramic, underwater) and lenses (standard, wide-angle, fish-eye, telephoto, macro, mirror), to tripods, filters and other accessories. A carefully worked-out series of practical exercises is presented throughout. The last part of the book looks at camera handling, focus, shutter speed and aperture, and explains how to clean, care for and store your equipment.
