What is the difference between focus and principal focus
Question asked by: vinay
Asked on: 28 Sep 2008

That point where the light rays coming from a distant object converge after passing through a lens, coming to a focus and forming an image
Therefore principal focus is a specific term with a specific definition; focus is just a generic term for accurately rendering light rays.
