Well, /p/, this is it.
We've finally has something that surpasses the 19th century optics technology that we've been using for over a century.

First prototypes are small (about the size of a microscope lens) but will eventually come in all sizes.
This technology will
>focus sharper
>be manufactured cheaper
>completely eliminate aberrations
it will look like shit.

Microscope objective vs equivalent lens
>focus sharper
>completely eliminate aberrations
nice priorities, gearfags.

It'll also be much much MUCH lighter and cheaper.

>MUCH lighter
dyel?
>cheaper
hah. theyll figure out a way to make it hella expensive.
Finally I have the appropriate gear to take pictures of my cats!
The shitpost is strong in this thread.
Twenty years til it's out of the lab.
Meanwhile I can't wait for diffractive optics to become more widespread.
>>2854796
usual pseudoscience propaganda clickbait.
They can't demonstrate it doing any of its claims.
Also, it's impossible to focus.
>Or to get a different focus, engineers could change the size, spacing and orientation of the pillars.
Hope you like only being able to get a subject in focus at one single exact distance and no others.
What's the point?
Part of the appeal of photography is to show off huge lenses and bodies.

>Hurrr dhurrr we can't compound more than one of these
>>2854936
I mean, is there another reason to pick up photography than having people look at you with massive lenses?
>>2854938
cool now you have 2 fixed focusing distances. or 3. landscape, groups, single person. lmao.
>year 2020
>we p&s nao
>>2854964
That's not what compound lens means, jackass
>>2854796
a flat lens will never work as well as a curved lens, as well as the fact they've only tested a tiny lens.
>>2854931
Yeah dude, that's how curved glass lenses are. One, fixed focus distance.
Your post just makes you seem as though you don't understand optics?
>>2854931
You realize that curved glass lenses have a fixed focal distance, right?
>>2854931
For decades and decades all lenses, even complete objectives of many lenses, were single focus. You focused by moving the entire lens forwards and backwards. Even a few new lenses still operate in this manner.
