Well in lens design the biggest questions are always:
* can it be done better
* can it be done simpler
and one related to the last one:
* can it be done cheaper
Designing e.g a 50mm f/1 autofocus-ready lens is reasonably doable, designing one with higher performance and that is economical for all parties involved is hard. Typically when someone says they want a design for _____________ complex/special lens (e.g 50/1) the answer is not "can't do" it's "you can't afford it."
