new fisheye zoom problems LBA in remission

I finally got round to using the old fisheye zoom on my Z1p in Barcelona and was delighted with the results. This made me even keener on the new one for my DS, however the French Pentax site provided an antidote! http://www.pentax.fr/_fr/photo/lenses/index.php?photo&products&gruppe=68&produkt=1795

What you're seeing in the tree at left appears to be fringing rather than CA. You're going to get that with any lens in a digital application where you have extreme contrast shift -- such as a tree branch against a white sky. I suspect that the lens is a fine performer. I know from experien

While pixelpeeping I can see this fringing or "CA" on every lens on my D. Including the 16-45. I stopped pixelpeeping (100% zoom) and now I'm very happy with my lenses :) If I could afford it, I would buy a 10-14. Toine On 3/5/06, Peter Fairweather <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I finally got round

In my experience, fringing and CA are two different things. Fringing is immune to the CA fix in the PSCS converter. What is displayed on the French Pentax site appears to be fringing. It seems to be common to all digital cameras when shooting extremely high contrast overlaps. It's easily fi
