LOL ... so you're saying the evidence of the several hundred frames I
have, and the ten or twenty I examined carefully for CA and fringing
after finding the ones with similar subject-against-sky that you
presented, isn't real because of your faultless several thousand
frames? Even when I can see the fringing and light CA in the blurry
portions of your example image? ]:-)
Perhaps statistically your lens is a better performer.
I have the evidence right here. It's real: I'm reporting my
observations. There's nothing wrong with the lens, but it does show
both CA and fringing in the normal amounts I see from premium mid-
range zoom lenses. At least my example did. It's not the most-CA-less
lens I've seen from Pentax by any means. This does not mean it is a
bad lens.
Paranoia or anti-paranoia ... I guess it makes just as much silliness
whichever side of the fence you decide to be defensive about. ;-)
