Maybe I'm not using Get right either. I'm wrapping functions.

    def AbbeGet(self, Lens):
        """
        Get the Abbe Number V for the material
        where
        V = (Nd - 1)/(Nf - Nc)
        where the Index of Refractions are
        Nd at the Fraunhofer D line 0.5892um
        Nf at the Fraunhofer F line 0.4861um
        Nc at the Fraunhofer C line 0.6563um
        """

        Nd = Lens.Mat.NtGet(0.5892)
        Nf = Lens.Mat.NtGet(0.4861)
        Nc = Lens.Mat.NtGet(0.6563)

        if (Nf - Nc) != 0:
            V = (Nd - 1)/(Nf - Nc)
        else:
            V = 1e6

        return V

    # end AbbeGet
