Advice on photo encyclopaedia needed pls

[xpanded]

Can anybody recommend me a good technical photo encyclopaedia in English? I have The Oxford Companion to the Photograph (which is not technical at all) and Ansel Adams' 3 part series but need something which - preferably - deals with lenses, cameras and digital. It does not need to have a huge section on darkroom though. I am thinking brick sized volume(s) that is currently available.

All input much appreciated,

Thanks in advance

The Focal Encyclopaedia of Photography (Focal Press, England) might be what you want.

Ditto on the Focal Encyclopedia. While not an encyclopedia, I can recommend Photographic Materials and Processes by Stroebel et al.

Thanks both of you - I will look into them. And, also both of you, cool avatars :-)
