Abstract
During lens optimization we monitor the sensitivity of lens surfaces and lens groups to errors in tilt and decentration. These sensitivities can he included as items to be bounded to specified limits during optimization. Often manyfold reduction of sensitivity of critical surfaces can he achieved with little or no degradation of nominal computed image quality.
