Hi all,
I only recently bought this GEM after the release of the G version.
I read so much on the CA but thought nothing of it. Now that I am using it, I am actually pretty bothered by it. I shoot wide open at f1.4 most of the time and at high contrast areas, I can understand CA (white shirt, blue skies etc). This can be adjusted usually by adjustment of Hue saturation....but then quite bothersome.
My main concern is when CA (or LA) appears in the eyes of the subject where I focus on. It looks like it make their eyes pinkish or purplish....This is difficult to correct. I guess thats how buying the G version helps....
Anyways, for those that own the lens or used to, what are your suggestions for such?
I am using a D300 (supposedly good at CA control) and the lens is covered by a B+W uv haze filter (not multi coated though-wondering if this is the problem).
Any advise or suggestions (except buy a new G version haha) would be helpful! :thumbsup:
Other then that, I am loving this lens...a performer despite its age.
