What Lens to Put In Front of an Complex Lens to Push Focal Plane Back?

[QUOTE="cajer, post: 6517814, member: 692626"] I have an extremely fast (f/1.05) night vision optic that I scavenged from a old night vision unit which is faster than current production lenses (f/1.23). However due to the design of newer night vision tubes, the lens will not focus to infinity on the night vision tube. This is because the old tubes had an imaging plane flush with the surface of the tube, but the new tubes have an imaging plane that is slightly recessed (~3 mm) from the surface. Even at it's closet travel (touching the front of the night vision tube) it will only focus to a point 20~30 cm away. Additionally the night vision optic is unit focusing. As such, I am wondering what type of optical element I can put in front of the night vision optic to push the focal plane ~5 mm further away from the night vision optic? Also how will this effect image quality and fstop? [/QUOTE]
