What is the optical center of a zoom lens?

If you look through the lens at a distant point, the point image will not move when the lens is rotated slightly about a vertical or horizontal axis the goes through the nodal point. This is called the optical center. With a thin lens this is close to the geometric center, with a longer complex lens the optical center is buried somewhere inside. The optcial center of a complex lens may or may not be inside an element.

What is optical center of lens?

The optical center of the lens is a point on the axis of a lens is the point where any ray passing through this point, the incident part and the emergent part are parallel. It is important for the proper refraction of light.
