Lentille additionnelle. Bonnette. Lentille fixée devant un objectif pour en modifier la focale. On l'utilise, en général, pour photographier à une distance ou à une échelle que ne permet pas l'objectif dont on dispose. Les bonnettes négatives allongent la focale et donnent la possibilité de photographier à une échelle plus grande. Les bonnettes positives raccourcissent la focale et la distance au sujet peut ainsi être réduite. 6, record 1, French, - lentille%20additionnelle
