You're right, I was not warned about this when I ordered. In fact, they
didn't mention at all that they would be aspherical lenses, or the
disadvantages.
These ones also have chromatic aberration, giving a yellow shadow to certain
things, but they are not polycarbonate. I have always ordered glass lenses,
as even the best polycarbonate lenses would get scratched too easily for me.
These supposedly are Zeiss lenses, made of glass, and supposed to be the
best. I'm still arguing to have them redone.
