I agree with Ed.

If not the must difficult, one with many of the most contentuous set of trade space to deal with. If a lens has n optical components, then n-1 optical variables can be adjusted. So to correct chromatic aberation using lenses, three of the lenses will be used for correcting the chromatic abration. If only reflective surfaces are used, then there will be no need to design out chromatic aberation ... guess what => all reflective optical instruments do not make for practical optical systems for common camera applications. :rolleyes:

Physics rules; we have to deal with it.
