All lenses display some fringing on digital cameras (or CA if you must, even though I'm not sure they're the same thing) . Whether or not it's a problem comes down to a matter of degrees. The DA*16-50 is among the best in my experience. Now that being said, there were serious quality control problems with the lens, and some were delivered with misaligned elements. That condition was immediately recognizable as uneven focus across the frame. (I had to return my first DA8 16-50, and I did so immediately.) But good copies of the lens are excellent in every way.

There's some glow around the street lamp. Don't know that I'd call it CA. Speaking in purely technical terms and having examined it at a pixel level,
I think I would categorize it as "glow."


CA

Items should be sharply focused to recognize as CA. But your lamp and post are only glowing red on one side, green intrusion on the other side = CA.
The tree branches are overcome by bokeh.

Must be the ibook, but, i don't see this CA.
