Can someone please tell me whether I have this correct:
At best focus for white light, any refractor other than a full apo will have significant spherical aberration in one or more colors since you are effectively defocusing some wavelengths (the wavelengths that are not brought to the same focus as green). So even if a semi-apo has SA well controlled when focused for individual colors, there will still be spherochromatism present at best focus for white light.
