Dear Friends,
I stumbled upon this interesting video/online tutorial of the history and science of lenses. While it cannot be compared to Kingslake it does help you visualize what Kingslake is trying to teach you in his books on photographic lens. The video is about 20 minutes in length and the instructor (John P. Hess) uses lasers, smoke and lenses (no mirrors) to demonstrate refraction, lens design, zoom lens, reflection, and other lens design defects.
Here is the link/URL: https://vimeo.com/148926774
Please don't hold me accountable if there are any errors in this tutorial as I am not an optical engineer or photography historian. I just really enjoyed being able to visualize what many instructional books try to teach with words and drawings. The other video in the series are also interesting if you have the time.
Best regards,
Robert
