A New Approach to the Evaluation of the Performance of Photographic Lenses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Lens performance evaluation in terms of resolving power has proven unsatisfactory. The concept of definition has therefore been introduced combining contrast with resolving power. A new method of lens evaluation will be described which takes all factors of image definition into consideration and relates them to the speed of the lens.
