A treatise for the amateur photographer on a simplified method of lens calculations. The author, with his assistant Arthur Traube, discovered ethyl red, the first color sensitizer of the isocyanine series which made possible panchromatic plates. He was one of the first directors of Voigtlander, and invented a two-color process.
