The science behind the camera lense

 

So many at times we see movies and we mavel at the pictures and the next thing is mouth agape,

wondering when you will get to that stage of purchasing that big camera. Like they say time waits

for no one.

The Many pros will tell you: it's less about the camera you're shooting on and more about the lens. 

The lense is obviously the heart of every camera. That doesn’t seem to make any meaning at all I

guess, but the truth is not far from the fact that the lense is the tool behind every great pictures
you see.

I mean -- that's neither here nor there, but one thing's clear: knowing all you can about lenses, how they're built, their properties, and even their history, will benefit you immensely as a filmmaker. This is something Filmmaker IQ's John P. Hess obviously knows, seeing as he has dedicated two separate videos to diving into the history and mechanics of the camera lens.

It's 45 minutes well spent, so check out both videos below:
