If I may differ, an entire element was eliminated. That particular element
was as convex and thin as a typical second element in a wide angle or super
wide angle lens. Based on that element alone, I've not seen a short telephoto
design as radical from the 1970's. I'm certainly open to anyone who can find
one.
