Summary
Three well-known and important classical lens forms are the Petzval objective, the Cooke triplet lens, and the double Gauss lens. An understanding about how these lens forms work, and how they are designed, provides a solid background to push forward the skill of lens design. Many other lens forms are derived from such classical lens forms by lens splitting and adding lens complexity.
