    Yes, MP, good solid advice. But the other option is to go a bit wild and let a lens take you where *it* wants to go. Get a superb lens and fasten your seatbelt. One way not to adjust the world to you but go with the force!:D

    :Dthumb.gif Now I can't wait to test one out! A couple more paychecks to go until then....Laughing.gif.

    Thanks for the info MP-I have seen the CA in some test shots on a review about this lens. Just curious, how would you correct that in photoshop?

    1. stop down, careful exposure, avoid backlighting

    2. shoot in RAW, and do CA pre conversion

    3. remove in post using software correction

    4. zoom to 300% and clone it all out pixel by pixel (only joking!!!eek7.gifwink)
