I'm a brand new convert to Pentax, having just purchased an *ist DS as
my first DSLR and have been trying to acquire a few of the suddenly
oh-so-hard-to-get primes. Thursday evening I got home to find an FA
135mm f/2.8 had arrived from B&H and yesterday morning shot a few quick
pictures of a tree in our front yard before heading off to work (no
artistic intent - just wanted to see if it was basically functioning).
I didn't get a chance to download them until this evening and was
somewhat disturbed to see the amount of color fringing (or whatever it
is) at the high contrast transitions between branches and the sky.
Example here:

Any insights as to whether this is typical or not, or if it is
indicative of a problem with the lens (or camera) would be much
appreciated. Frankly, I'm still pretty much a novice at the digital
stuff and I'd love to find I've done something stupid.
Thanks.
