Phil Not sure if chromatic aberration is a "technical disadvantage of digital photography." From what I have read, it's inherent in analogue too but not so noticeable. It's more a product of lens behaviour. http://dpreview.com/learn/?/Glossary/Optical/Chromatic_Aberrations_01.htm http://www.canon.com/bctv/faq/chrab.html Also, lenses specifically designed for 2/3" sensor digital photography promise to reduce the effect. http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1058850002.html > The software is not quite there, but I am aware of several open source > projects to make chromatic aberration and lens distortion a thing of the > past.
