  2. fisheye lenses have large pupil aberration. Rays close to 90 deg go through an entrance pupil 50% closer to the front vertex than the paraxial pupil location. ray-optics doesn't handle this well and it will take some time to work out an automated solution.
  3. I see some small changes to make manual specification of the chief ray aim point for wide angle systems possible. It'll probably be bundled with point 1.
  4. the model also uncovered that object tangents rather than angles were being used to calculate fracti…
