[Leica] Leica T lens not optically perfect?

[jplaurel at gmail.com (Jim Laurel)]

Makes perfect sense to me. While I?m not an optical engineer, my 
understanding is that lens design requires balancing various performance 
parameters such as resolution, contrast, geometric distortion, vignetting, 
chromatic aberration, and probably a bunch of others of which I?m not aware. 
It makes complete sense to me that, given the processing power available in 
modern digital cameras, lens designers can now effectively consider software 
as part of the optical design. I keep hearing people refer to this as some 
sort of deficiency in the lens designs, when in fact, appropriate use of 
software correction is just part of the optical design. The integration of 
software correction will give us smaller, lighter, better performing and 
less expensive optics.
