Re: Are their "good" and "bad" copies of lenses?

I've never gotten a new pro-quality lens that was bad (aside from a Canon 20mm f/2.8 lens decades ago, which was simply a bad design). I guess there is some variation from copy to copy, but in 30+ years of shooting, I've never been tempted to return a lens.
