Abstract
THE telephotographic lens is becoming more generally used every day, so that the publication of a good elementary treatise on the chief advantages of its employment and on its successful manipulation will be received with favour. The opening chapters describe, in simple and clear language, backed up with excellent illustrations, the optical arrangements of telephotographic lenses, the different types of such lenses, the work for which they are specially adapted, and the form of camera and accessories that experience has shown to be the most satisfactory. The author lays great stress on the importance of rigidity in both the camera and support, so the beginner should take special note of this fundamental consideration.
