half plastic piece of crap lens perform better than a good single- or even
non-coated lens.

Ah, but MC it so pretty to look at : )
The purples and greens, the aurora borealis-like glow......
I have a lens, the Vivitar Series 1 450mm f4.5 mirror, that actually has a
front element made of strange plastic, although, looks like any other lens
to me.
Best thing is it produces great images but was far from cheap.
