Here are a some comments from a recent peer review I organized: simply awesome.


Am I dreaming or are they showing the elements change shape as well as position? See Fig. 8.I can’t imagine what they have in mind. No matter what, I see no redeeming value to the paper. I am glad it was not presented.I don’t want this manuscript in the volume.

This is a bad, not poor, paper IMHO. Yes, in Figure 8 magic has occurred. The stop is at the rear of the center group. I have seen varifocal, but not varilens ... lenses are changing shape and thickness.Note the scale is the same for each. Note also that the FOV of the 150 mm conf. is greater than that for the 50 mm conf. for the same image ht. Now how does that work? Am I missing something? ;-) Also, they may be one of the last two groups to use Juan's program EIKONAL.

Bottom line ... decline their request to be published and do not make any suggestion to them about fixing it. Frankly, I'm not sure they would understand what you might suggest to them.
