There seem to be overlap with Germanium, but doesn't seem enough for far infrared imaging. https://www.edmundoptics.com/knowledge-center/application-notes/optics/the-correct-material-for-infrared-applications/

Germanium lens sounds expensive... I was hoping to make use of existing components, building a lens from scratch sounds way too complex.

Thanks for help guys! A.T.> I need a zoom ability. As Andy noted, will just use my feet then!
