What does a contemporary lens mean?

My guess is it indicates a lens made specifically for modern DSLR cameras. All the majors - Sony/Nikon/Canon - have lenses designed for for their crop-sensor DSLR models and their full-frame sensor DSLR models. At the beginning of the switch from film to digital lenses originally designed for 35mm film cameras were used but as the digital market heated up it became cost-efficient as well as cost-competitive to design lenses specifically for the crop-sensor DSLR.

That's my best guess :)

What does Contemporary Furniture Mean?

Hi,
Yes I agree and Contemporary Furniture is usually more casual than the old furniture, like Mediterranian, Oak, Mahogany which all appear to be more formal looking; bulky, heavy.

CF is slick lines, lamps that the base is behind a chair in the corner, but the shade hangs out in front of the chair and usually swings back and forth and usually is very long. Like an arch would appear.

Sometimes bold colors, but sometimes earth tones; like browns, gold, orange, green and sometimes in Olive green. Lamps, tall, skinny; sometimes even wrought iron in black with sleek lamp shades; slender.

Sometimes, a sofa may not be soft and squishy, but more firm to hard.

I hope this helps you out. Amen?

When buying a camera lens what does it mean when the construction of the lens is "16 elements in 12 groups"?

In lens design, the word group has a very specific meaning.

A group is any number of lens which, between them, have only two glass-to-air surfaces. Thus, a group can refer to only a single lens element, or it can refer to two or more lens elements physically cemented together in such a way that there are no glass to air surfaces between them.

In the days before lens coating(which was a product of World War II) light would tend to reflect off of glass-to-air surface. The most prominent result of this was veiling flare, which lowered contrast. Thus, before lens coating, minimizing glass to air surfaces was a big deal.

Due to this, the most popular prewar lenses were derived from the Zeiss Triotar and Zeiss Tessar designs. The triotar consisted of three elements, with the two rear ones cemented(2 groups). The Tessar consisted of four elements, with the rear two cemented, giving three groups and only four internal glass-to-air surfaces.

The lack of coating didn't permit satisfactory performance from anything more complex than a tessar.

Today, though, coating has made it possible to cram in excess of 20 elements into a lens and still get good performance. So, for all intents and purposes, it's irrelevent information.

By the way, the lens with the fewest elements I'm aware of on the market is the little 45mm 2.8 that Nikon came out with a few years ago, which is a Tessar-type lens. Zeiss still makes 5 or 6 element 80mm 2.8 Planars for medium format cameras(mainly Hasselblad). Most all of the 50mm lenses for 35mm cameras are double-Gauss designs, which have at least 6 and sometimes 7 or 8 elements.

What does literary lens mean?

Well, let me see. First of all, it seems a little redundant, since literary means relating to literature or writing, and a novel is literature. And lens is something you use to enhance focus on a particular subject. So the subject of the novel you are reading has already been analyzed through the literary lens of its author.

But you have an assignment to complete nevertheless, so perhaps you should extract the subject of the novel you are reading, distill it down to its very essence, then look for other novels that have been written about the same subject and see how the other authors viewed the subject through their particular lens. Then you can make comparisons, or show differences based on where a particular author was coming from when he/she wrote about the subject.

It sounds very complex and time-consuming to me. It's a good thing it's a long-term study! I wish you luck.

What does "from the Contemporary Perspective" Mean?

I have a paper I'm writing and for the main prompt I know what I'm saying and have most of that done, but the last line of the prompt includes the following.

From the contemporary perspective, how do major forms and expressions of European nationalisms look today for us?

I'm just not very sure what that is asking. I'm not looking for you to answer this for me, just clear up what the question is looking for.

Thanks.
