ok it could be "groupes de lentilles" ou "groupes optiques"

neutral  Tony M: Wrong use of 'conception' here: it's not 'the design of lenses...', but rather 'this design of lens'. Also, I'm pretty sure we talk about 'élements' for multi-element lenses.

  -> er... A lens (objectif) can be designed with fixed lenses (lentilles) or floating lenses. Here one design has been prefered over the other. It's a choice of Lens (objectif) design. you are right about "élements" they are called in french groupes
