Disclaimer
The author assumes no liability for the correctness, accuracy, timeliness, reliability or completeness of the information provided.
Liability claims against the author for material or immaterial damage resulting from the access to, use or non-use of the published information, misuse of the connection or technical faults are excluded. This exclusion does not cover unlawful intent or gross negligence.
All visual renders, 2D optical cross-sections and calculated metrics are mathematical and ray-traced simulations based on thin-lens equations or published optical patent examples. They are not photographs taken with an actual physical lens. Because manufacturers may modify optical formulas, glass, coatings, mechanical housings or tolerances in serial production, a patent-based simulation may differ from the optical performance of a commercial retail lens. Simulations are provided for educational and illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for testing physical equipment.
All offers are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offering without separate notice, or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.
Optical patents and trademarks
Optical prescriptions (surface radii, element spacings and refractive indices) used in the patent ray-tracing mode are derived from publicly available patent publications. The association between a published patent example and a commercial lens model is based on independent technical analysis and is not confirmed or endorsed by the respective manufacturer.
All brand names, product names and trademarks mentioned on this website, including Canon, Fujifilm, Leica, Nikon, Nikkor, Noctilux, Summilux, Summicron, Sony, Zeiss, Distagon, Planar, Sonnar, Sigma, Tamron, Voigtländer and eBay, are the property of their respective owners. Their use on lenssimulator.photo is solely for descriptive identification and comparison. Lens Simulator is an independent project and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any camera or lens manufacturer.
Liability for links
References and links to third-party websites lie outside our area of responsibility. We decline all responsibility for such websites; access and use are entirely at the user's own risk. Outbound links to eBay or other retailers may be affiliate links that earn a commission at no additional cost to the buyer.

Written permission from the copyright holder must be obtained in advance for the reproduction of any elements, except for images generated with Share or Save image, which may be shared freely as long as the lenssimulator.photo attribution stays intact.
