A Rapid Rectilinear lens, or RR lens, is made of a symmetrical pair of cemented doublets. It's making is optical precision work. It was introduced by Dallmeyer in 1866. At the same time Steinheil invented a similar construction, the Aplanat lens. It's a pair of achromatic lens element groups, arranged symmetrically before and behind the diaphragm. The outer lens elements of the two lens groups are concave meniscus lens elements, the inner lens elements are convex meniscus lens elements, made of another glass sort. This lens construction reduces effectively radial distortion. Dallmeyer's original Rectilinear wide angle lense's rear lens group is smaller in diameter than the front lens group. The Rapid Rectilinear has two equal sized lens goups, as well as the Aplanat's. Steinheil offered a landscape Aplanat, a portrait Aplanat and a wide angle Aplanat.
