I don't see any difference in sharpness but the Sony still shows a bit of CA at the edges of the white highlights. I'll look at that tomorrow but I'd be very surprised - this is a center 10% crop - CA? I doubt it. ... Fresh eyes tomorrow, SO is nagging me to go watch Dexter ... (This lens does show green/red CA towards the edges - correctable in raw import). It's pretty minor. My method for comparing is to badly over-sharpen them to emphasize stuff. I looked at it (in raw) at 400% and while there is a red reflection on some edges, there is no corresponding green on opposite edges (typical of CA). I also oversharpened and see pretty much the same thing. I think it's just the way the light reflects off of the coin. I'm not sure what it is either but it's not on the hassy version, or less so. It could be axial/longitudinal CA which goes all the way around highlights but that's normally purple/green for background/foreground. Or it could be that in a center crop, it doesn't show sides, just a ring of one color or another and the color differs by focus (the two have slightly different focus distances as noted. http://www.microscopyu.com/tutorials...ons/chromatic/ Heck, it could be the result of a more contrasty rendering. It could be the way that metal surface structure and angle relative to the source 'grates' the light, resulting in a filtering of wavelengths other than red. That site above is pretty cool. |
