During WW2, Leitz deveoped a f:0.85 monster with one element made of deep red glass for IR purposes From what I read, only 2 were ever made & the one that resided in the Wetzlar museum was stolen. Keep in mind that only the very center of the image has to be sharp and is usually marked with fiducial points. More to follow as I have just been chatting with an ex aerial photographer.
