Extract

The Schmidt camera is conceptually elegant and has a remarkable performance, but it suffers from several practical disadvantages. Two of these concern us here. First, there are very few craftsmen who are competent to make the aspheric correcting plate of the Schmidt camera compared with the number of those competent to make spherical surfaces of high quality.
