At its f/5 focus, the 6.5 meter converted MMT uses a refractive corrector to produce excellent images over a field of view as large as 1° in diameter. We describe the construction challenges we encountered and the lessons we learned mounting the ~30 inch diameter lenses for this wide-field corrector. The corrector was completed in May 2002, was commissioned in May and June of 2003, and is now in regular use at the MMT for spectroscopic and imaging observations.
