What’s spherical aberration?

Spherical aberration is a visual effect caused by light distortion passing through a spherical lens, degrading contrast and blurring details. It can be corrected by reducing aperture size or adjusting light waves. Correct calculations are necessary for correction. Special filters can create special effects. A spherical aberration is a visual effect caused by the distortion […]
