More expensive lenses have less abberations. Prime lenses (non-zoom) are engineered so that all the elements eliminate as many abberations as possible.

When you have a zoom lens, they make a compromise. Basically it's like an all mountain ski which doesn't excel in either powder or park.

There's also lens material. The highest quality lens use rare earth minerals to create a clearer lens and also add certain "characteristics" to a lens.
