A patent showing a 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 optical formula with a liquid element has shown up. I think it's safe to say that this isn't going to end up as a consumer product any time soon, but it's still pretty interesting.

- And by varying the shape of the boundary surface, thereby changing the refractive power
- Zooming, and has a refractive power element is positive, the element is negative
- And reduce the variation of the curvature
