Q1 - If you add a 2x multiplier to a lens, what happens to the minimum focus distance?
Q2 - If you add a 1.4x multiplier to a lens, what happens to the maximum aperture?
It's decreased by 1.4 f stops It's decreased by 1 stop It doesn't change
Q3 - When used at 1:1 magnification (life size) how does the depth of field of a 50mm lens compare with that of a 100mm lens?
They are the same The 50mm lens will have twice the DOF of the 100mm lens The 50mm lens will have half the DOF of the 100mm lens
Q4 - When Straight lines near the edges of an image bend inwards, what type of distortion is this?
Pincushion distortion Barrel distortion Complex distortion
Q5 - Which type of aberration can affect sharpness in the center of an image?
Coma Astigmatism Spherical aberration
Q6 - There are two type of chromatic aberration, Lateral and Lonitudinal (Axial). Which of the following statements is true"
Both are reduced by stopping down Only longitudinal (axial) CA is reduced by stopping down Only lateral CA is reduced by stopping down
Q7 - When taking pictures of the stars, which of these lenses will record the faintest stars for a given exposure time and ISO setting?
50mm f2.0 400mm f5.6 200mm f4
Q8 - Shooting with a macro lens at 1:1 magnification (life size) how is the depth of field distributed?
Evenly about the focus point Twice as much DOF behind the focus point as in front of it Twice as much DOF in front of the focus point as behind it
Q9 - If you had a perfect ("diffraction limited") 300mm f2 lens, what aperture should give the sharpest images?
Stopped down to around f4 Wide open at f2 Stopped down to around f8
Q10 - What is the characteristic an Apochromatic (APO) lens?
It brings two widely seperated wavelengths of light (colors) to the same focus It brings two widely seperated wavelengths of light (colors) to the same focus and corrects for spherical aberration at two wavelengths It brings three widely seperated wavelengths of light (colors) to the same focus and corrects for spherical aberration at two wavelengths
