I want a 16-1200mm lens, with a 300mm front element for f/mount_limited-f/4 aperture size, that weighs less than 2kg and is fully aberration corrected & costs under $10,000. And world peace, while we’re at it. That’s probably easier.
variable fresnel mirror optics have entered the chat (i made that up, but fresnel mirrors exist and and maybe one could use a 300mm DLP micro mirror device and somehow improve it in a way that the mirrors can be angled in variety of angles instead of just 2, mirrors also have no chromatic aberration)
