i feel my FA 24-90 f 3.5-4.5, a highly regarded lens here, has too much chromatic abberation to be used more than necessary. this is on film and not on the *ist. i feel that my FA* 24 f2.0, an even more highly regarded lens here, has more than i feel is acceptable for a lens belonging to the FA* line. these are at working apertures above f8. both my FA 50 f2.8 macro and FA* 80-200 f2.8 have no detectable chromatic abberation at f2.8 to my eyes. my Sigma 15-30 f3.5-4.5 has about the same chromatic abberation as my FA* 24 f2.0 but is noticeably less sharp.
