In this paper we present optical designs for an entirely new approach to extremely large telescopes and telescopes with spherical primary mirrors. The key feature is a novel optical system referred to as the improved spherical aberration corrector (ISAC). This corrector works exceptionally well for post prime focus applications, as well as for Cassegrain and Couder/Schwarzschild-like optical systems with both spherical primary and spherical secondary mirrors. The Couder/Schwarzschild configuration also adapts to a pancake configuration where the telescope is physically shorter than its aperture.
