Nikon quality. Skip to main content. About this product. Open box. Less light is lost. By definition, a lens is a distorted view of what we normally see. That distortion should be managed, of course, and careful photographers should be aware of both the strengths and weaknesses of their tools. Often stopping down will minimize the imperfections. But the desire for a perfect lens is one of those things that reminds us to be careful of what we wish for.

So we don't speak of defects but of aberrations. Which reminds us of the sort of people you might invite to a party. There are seven distinct types.

Spherical aberration. Like last-minute invitees who arrive early, spherical aberration occurs when light passing through the edges of a lens focuses short of light passing through the center of the lens. This edge softness is handy in portrait work. Stopping down, however, often causes a focus shift. Chromatic aberration. Well, not everyone speaks the same language. Different colors of light refract -- or bend -- differently as they pass through glass.

You may see this as softness on the lens axis where focus is short or long depending on color or as color fringes off axis. Stopping down improves off-axis chromatic aberration. Some party conversation never seems to get to the point. Coma is a bit like that. Instead of sharply focusing a subject off the lens axis, some lenses blur the image into a comet-like shape. Stopping down helps. Curvature of field. Reminds us of the guy at every party who puts on a lampshade for laughs.

Probably the most frequently seen, this aberration turns the flat subject into a bowed one. You may have tried to shoot a framed painting only to see your frame bursting in the print, or a flat horizon only to see the apparent curvature of the earth. It's the lens, in fact. Liar, liar, an astigmatic lens focuses an off-axis subject as a line at one point and another line perpendicular to it at another point with a disc in between. Which makes it hard to get both horizontal and vertical lines in focus at the edges of the image.

Stopping down reduces the effect. A lens with only one element or piece of glass will barrel an image if the aperture is in front of it and pincushion it if is it's behind it. Stopping down doesn't help, but lens designers work around this by using an element or so on either side of the aperture.

Unequal illumination. Like trying to hear someone over loud music, light travelling from the edge of the lens has to go further than light going through the center of the lens. And some of that edge light is actually cut off by the barrel of the lens. Two reasons illumination isn't even across the film plane your eyes, being curved not flat, don't have this problem.
