Given the insane advantage today's lens designers have in terms of materials, coatings, lens simulators, etc it is becoming harder and harder to design a bad lens. Maybe you just have a manufacturing defect in yours?

On the other hand it's not so much of a problem anymore to use a "bad lens" when cameras do signal processing to remove distortion and chromatic aberrations. On film this would have been impractical to correct, on digital medium it's almost done real time.
- la_barba 7y agoThat's not really accurate. You can't 'remove' optical flaws, but they can be masked - to an extent. Correcting for those flaws via software isn't 'free', you can only do it at the expense of image quality.
