I ran across this video of Sigma's manufacturing process which I found interresting. I thought you might enjoy it too.

I have watched it previously in YouTube. The design of a lens goes to optical engineers and computers the rest, as you saw is mostly done with machines till the final assembly. The video does not show the different types of glass that are used in the manufacturing process of a lens. LD and rare earths glass are used extensively today by all manufacturers. The same technology is shared by all independent companies. Quality control and precision manufacturing is what separates the good from the mediocre lens. Even in cheap kit lenses you can find good optics today.

A few years baxk someone posted the formula from Leica
that made their round lenses focus on flat sensors so good.
Big long equation thing.
I don't miss fuzzy corners, neither!
