It's probably chromatic aberration. It's most evident in this kind of
shot, where the background is extremely bright. I corrected it somewhat
in the RAW conversion, but couldn't eliminate it completely. I think
even my A 400/5.6 would show some CA with this kind of background and
minimal depth of field.
