Modern Telephotography; a Practical Manual of Working Methods and Application

Abstract

CAPTAIN OWEN WHEELER is an enthusiastic and successful user of telephotographic lenses, and in this small volume he sets down his experiences in plain language, and gives the rules that he has found serviceable. He refers only to the lenses issued by the publishers, but this is the only drawback to an eminently practical and useful treatise. Seeing that the one advantage of a telephotographic lens is that it gives the image on a larger scale, without the need for an equivalent length of camera, and that it is as applicable to near as to distant objects, the photography of near objects is very meagrely dealt with. But this is rather an advantage than otherwise, as it indicates that the author treats only with those matters of which he has had considerable experience.
