Yeah, the lens is really pretty good at F4.0. Didn't have To do any CA corrections or notice any purple fringing either.
FWIW, and from what I recall, I did PS it a lot: Shot istDS, is0400, 1/2...@f4, RAW, A200/4 lens, distance about 50 yards. ACR to 16bit SRGB Sharpened global Max out contrast to absolute black/white which desaturated sky Selected all sky with magic wand. Pulled sky level down to get a gray scale to work with Decontrasted sky to get uniform density Colorized sky with color balance more >blue Played with global contrast and brightness to get desired sky color density Resized for web Added borders Lowered bit depth to 8 bit Jpg save. Final digital image result looks more like a sketch than a photo To my eyes. > http://www.jchriso.com/temp/lonebird2.jpg J.C.

Well done. No obvious fringing. That's a good thing. My A400/5.6 would probably have had problems with this. Paul On Jun 26, 2009, at 2:22 PM, J.C.
