Telephoto Lens
To photograph a distant subject large, you need a long focal length - and a long lens means a long camera. In 1891 Thomas Rudolphus Dallmeyer in London, and Adolf Miethe in Germany, independently put a negative lens behind a positive one. The pair acts like a single lens of much longer focal length, yet it is physically shorter than that focal length. That is what 'telephoto' means, and nearly every long camera lens since uses it.
**No patent number is cited here**: Dallmeyer patented it in Britain, and no US patent for his design was verified, so none is claimed.
**You build one on an optical bench**, measure its focal length from the size of a distant image, and let a ray-trace notebook redesign it.

Focus a distant window onto paper with each convex lens; the lens-to-paper distance is its focal length. Pick one about 100 mm. Take a concave lens about half that (its label gives it; it will not focus alone).

Set up the bench
Mount the convex lens in a holder at one end of the bench, pointing out of a window at something far away. Tape tracing paper to a holder as the screen.

Add the negative lens
Put the concave lens 60 mm behind the convex one. The image is now far behind; move the screen back until it is sharp again and measure the same feature. Try 55 and 65 mm spacing too.

History & Context
History & Context
**What the 1891 designs did:** a positive front group and a negative rear group, spaced so the system focal length exceeds its length. **Modern build (derived):** two stock lenses on a bench.
Early telephoto attachments screwed behind ordinary lenses; modern long lenses build the idea in. Its limits: spacing is critical, the negative group adds distortion (pincushion), and the image is dimmer at the same aperture diameter because the focal length grew.
