Re: ED glass in binoculars

In #3194486, , we read " ..... often the CA correction in a doublet is corrected at the 70% position off axis..."

It has been a while since I read about lens design, but I am recalling that the 70% is at the ray height 70% of the lens radius, and is for rays parallel to the lens axis, called paraxial, and is not a correction chosen for field rays.
