But is that true? What if I want a 50x zoom lens? How would software do what an entire assembly of precision lenses does?

- regularfry 9y agoIt's not so much that software does what the lenses do, it's that software would configure the hardware to perform the same transfer function on the incoming photons. It's more a reconfiguration of the input than a processing of the output. On edit: I should also point out that you don't get to escape fundamental optical limits with this stuff. You're still diffraction limited, so "lens" size still matters.
