Jozef Maximilian Petzval (1807-1891), I believe. Although there are various claims to this, I doubt Yul the old slaphead is a contender.

Lense: a. trans. To make lean; to macerate. b. intr. To become lean.
Maybe Yul Bryner thought of the Atkins diet first then?

Theres a mod coming called " Movedto Muppets"
07 January 2004, 04:03 PM
OK - from: http://www.photography.net/html/lenses.html
we have:
"Daniele Barbaro, a Venetian nobleman, was credited with installing the first lens into a Camera Obsura. He increased the size of the hole opening and inserted a lens from a pair of gentleman's reading glasses. Several hundred years later, the convex lens was considered an essential component of camera design".
(This was about 400 years ago).
No mention of the zoom lens other than it/they are derivitives of the original 'lens'.
Someone else can dig out more ....
Dave
PS: So Baldy was not the man ....
