Originally posted by LightBug People were asking for modern lenses, I guess that means big also
It seems to me that the current fashion/ demand is for corner to corner evenness, and I'm assuming bigger lenses can give a bigger image circle, so more of the image that his the sensor is coming through the less distorting part of the lens - I'm no lens designer, but it makes intuitive sense to me, at least.
