There is no issues with aberrations even at f/4, unless you do critical high resolution planetary work. Here's a 6mm BK7 plate (same as in AO-L units) at 85mm from focus at 420-700nm .
40 microns of chromatic focal shift may sound like a lot, until we remember that all uber expensive APOs would easily have five times that (or even more)!
