From Christian Beder, an optical designer at Carl Zeiss during an interview for "Camera Lens News" Nr 36: "What are the latest trends in optical design? Reducing chromatic aberrations is becoming increasingly significant. Digitalization means that anyone can now view their images in unprecedented sizes. Nowadays we look at an image on the screen that corresponds to a picture measuring 2x3 meters from a distance of 30 centimeters, which in some ways provides an absurd, unnaturally enlarged view. It enables users to detect chromatic aberrations on an individual pixel level that they would never have seen before. So our job now is to correct these aberrations by using more and more lens elements and increasingly specialist and more sophisticated types of glass. So digitalization is also having an effect on lenses!"
