This design is a rework of a double-cemented Petzval to 100 mm
f/8.  The glasses are "common", but not the ones you listed:
N-K5, F2, and N-SF5.  I chose them for their expansion rates
and the fact that, by tweaking the color correction, they allow
for both lenses of the Petzval to be cemented.

In spite of this, it is still, I think, classified as ananastigmat;
in addition, the lateral color error is also achromatic, in that
the F and C lines coincide.  The visual Strehl is 0.8038, making
it "diffraction limited".
