Re: [APML] Optics books

["Brian Larmay" <astrobri@ameritech.net>]

Actually I always had a hard time with wanting to learn math, but this looks
like it would be fun to learn.
For now Ill stick with the 1st recommendation and what happens from there
happens<g>

I never thought that I would get this far into photography then what I have
accomplished through the help of this group.
The principals here helped me in other areas of photography as well.

You guys are awesome...
And now Jerry's book is almost due also.

Thanks,
Brian
