Hi all, I need some advice here.
Recently my dad was kind enough to loan me his old Leica lenses, one is a Summicron f2 50mm and the other was a Angenieux f2.8 45-90mm. Both are still nice and free of mould.
So I bought adaptors and mounted them on my canon 550D to try them out at the Tanjong Pagar KTM railway station with the below results.
550D with Summicron 50mm @f2

550D with Canon EF 50mm f1.8 @f2
The crop
These were taken with the same settings and at most 1-2mins apart. As you can see the purple fringing on the Summicron is quite obvious while the Canon's 50mm showed no traces of it.
Read online that UV filters could help to a certain extend. However, the Summicron is already using a B+W 010 E55 UV filter and so I'm back to square one.
Anybody can help me? I am pretty much disturbed by these results...
