The camera lens determines, to a great extent, the quality of the image produced in any camera and must be a major consideration when selecting a camera and lens for serious work. This guide offers a complete, dedicated treatment of all types of lenses for all types of cameras, including digital. Explored in detail are the terminology of lenses, how different lens types function, the advantages and disadvantages of different types of lenses, and how the angle of view, aperture, shutter, and focusing abilities of a lens affect the photos taken with it. Photographers will also learn the basics of lens design, aspheric lens elements, retrofocus lenses, shift control lenses, image stabilizers, and much more.

How to Do Everything with Your Digital Camera
Publishing Rationale - Digital Camera use is clearly on the rise -sales of cameras have topped $1 Billion, and the digital category now makes up about 36% of the entire camera market, with 1.8 million units sold in 1999 (a 63% increase in 1999), according to market researcher NPD Intelect. - Digital Camera prices are dropping. There are lots of digital cameras on the market in a wide price range, but the introduction of sub-$300 cameras, and the increased sales coming from non-cameras specific retailers (Kmart, and chain drugstores, in addition to Circuit City and Fry's Electronics) means there's a huge spike in digital camera owners who have cameras but may not know what to do with them - or with the digital images they capture. - Osborne's How to Do Everything series is a strong seller, and the addition of new titles is sure to expand the success - especially for this hot topic
