What you're seeing in the tree at left appears to be fringing rather
than CA. You're going to get that with any lens in a digital
application where you have extreme contrast shift -- such as a tree
branch against a white sky. I suspect that the lens is a fine
performer. I know from experience that the 12-24 is quite excellent, as
are the other DA lenses I own.

I finally got round to using the old fisheye zoom on my Z1p in
Barcelona and was delighted with the results. This made me even keener
on the new one for my DS, however the French Pentax site provided an
antidote!
