In my opinion, the most salient point is as you say, to avoid the highlights. Or perhaps even better, to contemplate the psychologial implications of an unbendable urge to photograph backlit twigs at f/2.8. I'd say the disposition of Fotozone looks unhealthy... :-) It is also worth noting that Fotozone have no mention of even considering the same properties for comparable lenses from Nikon and Canon. I've checked. And the sample photos does not include scenes where PF may emerge. Until the next test of a similar lens from the big two, I guess it's better to think that this property is something hitherto unknown to Fotozone, and that a DA* attached to a K10D from Pentax just happened to be the first lens/camera combo they made such considerations for. If they ignore PF testing for other brands in the future, however, they'll pretty much be as the ornithologist would say, pooping in their own nest. :-) Or, they could just test Pentax lenses with backlit twigs and say "look purple fringing", and not test the big two lenses that way and not mention it.
