Or, if you've owned a camera for at least a year, you've surely used a <$100 vintage SLR/chinese MILC lens. These "soft" lenses do render every single detail in the center, they're not totally ruinous to IQ, but there's a subtle blur that's distinctly optical for the first few stops of aperture and the edges of the frame are never truly crisp.
This is the same performance as the majority of leica lenses. Decently sharp in the center, sharpness falloff, sort of "glowing".
