Abstract

There are many types of attachment that may be used in front of the lens on a camera for special purposes, and indeed many camera lenses are provided with a standard mounting thread for the sole purpose of adding a hood, a filter, or some other attachment. The various common types of attachment will be described in the present chapter, with some indication in each case as to their application.
