Gary, indeed your question is a bit simplisyic. But basically you are 
right. If size where not a problem, lenses could be better, but 
unwieldly.
The famous Zeiss lenses for the Contarex followed this design 
principle: A lens should be designed for image performance, whatever 
size it takes.
So the world saw astonishingly good performance in a unwieldy 
package. Exit the Contarex.
