There is a term Tele-Photo Ratio in the lens design R/D field. It is a ratio that the length of the distance from the anterior surface to image sensor were divided by the actual lens focus distance. The smaller value than 1, the shorter the finished length would be. It must be a good Gospel for the most of the photographer who wanna carry less burdenning. But, things aren't going so well, such kind of modification in designing steps invite much discrepancy, difficulty in correction aberrations. As most of the buyers want to be free from inconvenience caused by the bulk, consumers want to buy smaller and cute one as the newer models.
The engineers in R/D must have been obliged desperate effort by the thoughtless and unreasonable requests. When you violate basic principles, problems arise somewhere, and you have to somehow work around them, so unnecessarily. This results in compromises and compromises---leading becoming worse.
However louder the new announcement might be done in the Website, the newer model does not always overcome the performance of the old model in all the aspect. Consequently, photographers must be obliged to make good decision especially who have some strange desire in his or her deeper part of their heart.
One the other hand, same kind of phenomena is recognized on wide angle lenses. Frontal extension is done to compensate several aberrations, it is called as Retrofocus design. Increasing the glass reflective surfaces does not invite acceptable result, however coating technology might have made progress.
Physical minus fuator never disappears. Fundamental principle cannot be ignored, otherwise unexpected failure might occur without an exception, no matter how someone notice or not.
In Scientific field, Data-backed results, not Emotion, are the priority.
