Was an interesting point that they are still having to use ground & polished aspherical elements on larger diameter lenses where moulded cannot be accurate enough - at least with current technology. There is no doubt that moulded elements are getting better as time goes one. Witness the Canon 35 f/2 IS, the 24 f/1.4 and many of the recent Sigma lenses. To the best of my knowledge, moderate size lenses that use G & P asphericals are: 24-70 f/2.8 II, 35L, 85L, 16-35 f2.8 II. Even the 50 f1.2 L uses moulded.
