For wide angle lenses, the length of the hood away from the end of the lens cannot be as long as those for telephoto lenses because of the viewing angle.

The curved face or faces of a cylindrical lens are sections of a Cylinder geometry cylinder , and focus the image passing through it onto a line parallel to the intersection of the surface of the lens and a plane tangent to it. The lens compresses the image in the direction perpendicular to this line, and leaves it unaltered in the direction parallel to it in the tangent plane . Cylindrical lenses can be used to correct astigmatism eye ocular astigmatism , although toric lens es are more commonly used. They can also potentially be used in solar water heating installations, such as a plastic pillow type solar water heater.

Image Image erecting system.png thumb right Image erecting optical system for astronomical telescopes Erecting eyepiece . In optics, a relay lens is a lens or lens group that inverts an image and extends the optical tube. Relay lenses are found in endoscope s and periscope s for the purpose of extending the system, and before eyepiece s for the purpose of inverting an image. They may be made of one or more conventional lenses or achromatic doublet s, or a long cylindrical GRIN gradient index of refraction lens a GRIN lens . Relay lenses operate by producing intermediate planes of focus. For example, an objective lens such as an SLR lens produces an image plane where the image sensor would usually go. If you place a lens with focal length f a distance 2 f from that image plane and then put an image sensor 2 f beyond the lens, that lens will relay the first image to the second with 1 1 magnification see Lens optics Imaging properties Lens imaging properties . Ideally, this second image plane will be identical to the first, so you could put a sensor there and record exactly the same image. If a longer distance is needed, this can be repeated. In practice, the lens will be an achromatic doublet . Also, for endoscope applications, where small tube diameter is desirable, most of the tube is filled with glass, with thin air gaps to allow for powered surfaces because marginal ray angle is smaller at a given numerical aperture the higher the index of refraction , this allows the relay to have higher NA for a given diameter.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Lens sag is a problem that sometimes afflicts very large refracting telescope Technical considerations refracting telescope s. It is the equivalent of mirror sag in reflecting telescope s. It occurs when the physical weight of the glass causes a distortion in the shape of the lens optics lens because the lens can only be supported by the edges. A mirror on the other hand can be effectively supported by the entire opposite face, making mirror sag much less of a problem. One expensive solution to lens sag is to place the telescope in orbit around the Earth . The technical limit concerning lens sag was reached at the Yerkes refractor 1897 with an aperture of 40 102 cm , where the sagging already causes small optical distortions.
