The choice of a lens for a camera should be governed by the focal length, together with the rapidity and depth of focus, it being understood, of course, that the lens is free from astigmatism and from chromatic and spherical aberration. The shorter the back focus the greater the depth of focus; and the larger the proportion of the aperture to the equivalent focus the greater the rapidity.
