I'm sorry if this is a vague question but I did a bit of googling and could not find a good, simple starting point to start learning about different types of lenses; apo, tessars, ronars, germinars etc etc. I feel pretty daft in having used a variety of lenses over the years and really not knowing the differences or advantages/differences between the different types. I feel now is probably as good a time as any to start getting to know them, so to speak.
Can anyone point me to some layman-friendly reading material to begin learning or at least discerning the differences and types of lenses, how to identify, what to look for/avoid etc?
I have very limited also non-existent knowledge of optics and I'd say it's surface knowledge at best and only knowing brands/makers.
Much appreciated!
