Dear Simon,
I don't wish to throw a spanner in the works here, but as a IDs user who shoots hundreds of landscapes there may be an issue! I have been getting horrendous CA from Canon's 17-40L lens, which from a landscape point of view is a critical lens. The Camera Raw (in my experience) counter this. It only works for edge CA but the big problem I'm getting is in or near the middle. For any general subjects there is NO problem but if you shoot into the sun at say the sea or sparkly rivers, you may find serious red highlights. It doesn't matter whether you shoot RAW or jpeg. I have had to spend much time creating HS adjustment layers to mask out the problem areas but it really pisses me off that I have to.
The advice from the Kodak stable which looks as though it is taking these issues very seriously, is that we shoot prime lenses but in the Canon range, there aren't any!! 14mm is just too wide for most landscapes. I like the way Kodak are always on the case, sorting issues as they arise, where Canon seem to deliver a good quality product the forget about it whilst developing the new product for us to buy!
