Modern Lens Design: A Resource Manual

Published in 1964 and long out of print, copies of Cox's A System of Optical Design are covered by experienced lens designers simply because a small section of the book features lens design examples. Such examples are notoriously difficult to find and the hundred-odd pages of Cox's book that include them are widely photocopied and constantly referred to by designers in the know. Finally, lens designers have a better place to turn. The most complete and authoritative work of its kind ever published, Modern Lens Design includes over 400 pages of proven lens design examples for both commercial and military applications. A perfect complement to Smith's best-selling Modern Optical Engineering, it features designs of everything from camera lenses to laser collimators.
