A mid-wave infrared (MWIR) lens assembly that may include a first set of optical elements, wherein each optical element of the first set of optical elements is a positive optical power. MWIR lens assembly may also include a second set of optical elements, wherein each optical element of the second set of optical elements is a negative optical power. MWIR lens assembly may also include that at least one optical element of the first set of optical elements is formed of a first optical glass material, at least another optical element of the first set of optical elements is formed of a second optical glass material, and at least one optical element of the second set of optical elements is formed of a third optical glass material wherein the second optical glass material is different than the first optical glass material and the third optical glass material.
