Summary
Fabrication of a lens system may take several weeks or months. This can be objectionable in a project. Sometimes it is possible to design a lens system out of off-the-shelf single lens elements. For sharp imaging, this might be possible if the lens system is slower than about F/6 and the field of view is less than about ±12°.
