This document discusses different types of lens distortions and lens corrections. It describes three types of distortions: barrel, pincushion, and mustache. Barrel distortion causes inward bending, pincushion causes outward bending, and mustache is a combination. It then discusses four levels of lens correction: 1) Simple meniscus lenses correct some aberrations but have other uncorrected issues. 2) Rapid rectilinear lenses reduce distortion. 3) Anastigmatic lenses correct the main aberrations. 4) Achromatic lenses limit chromatic and spherical aberration by using different glass dispersions.

CLASSIFICATION
OF DISTORTION a.)Barrel Distortion
image magnification decreases with
distance from the optical axis. Straight lines bend inwards in a shape of a barrel or a sphere. b.)Pincushion Distortion
image magnification increases with distance
from the optical axis.
The exact opposite of the barrefl distortion,
straight lines bend outwards from the center. c.)Mustache Distortion
sometimes called “wavy distortion” and referred to
as complex distortion because it is the combination of barrel and pincushion distortion.
Straight lines bend outwards from the center then
curve outwards at the extreme corners. Types of Lens According to Degree of Correction for Lens Aberration 1.Simple Meniscus Lens Almost universally used by inexpensive cameras. It controls astigmatism and eliminates coma. Spherical and chromatic aberrations and field curvature are totally uncorrected, but are rendered tolerable by the low speed —about f/10 to f/15. 2.Rapid Rectilinear Lens, or RR lens is a symmetrical pair of cemented achromatic doublets. It was introduced by Dallmeyer in 1866. At the same time Steinheil invented a similar construction, the Aplanat lens. This lens construction reduces effectively radial distortion. 3.Anastigmat or Anastigmatic Lens completely corrects the three main optical aberrations: spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism. The first Anastigmat was designed by Paul Rudolph for the Carl Zeiss AG in 1890. All modern photographic lenses are close to being anastigmatic, meaning that they can create extremely sharp images for all objects across their field of view. 4.Achromatic Lens or Achromat Achromatic lenses are corrected to bring two wavelengths (typically red and blue) into focus on the same plane. designed to limit the effects of chromatic and spherical aberration. The most common type of achromat is the achromatic doublet, which is composed of two individual lenses made from glasses with different amounts of dispersion. Typically, one element is a negative (concave) element made out of flint glass.
