I have a FA 1.7 however and notice little difference between the amount of CA with it, and the stock digital only zoom. Sharpness, colour rendition etc. are different, but the CA not noticeably so.

If FA50/1.4 to use on 1/1,7-1/2 CA should be less, and on 1/1,4 FA50/1.7 to check up it is impossible. At me were M50/1.7 and A50/1.7, I have changed them on FA50/1.4 and K55/1.8 at which side it is pleasant more.

I do however notice a great deal more CA on my beloved Adaptall-2 Tamron SP 70 -210 f3.5 when used on a digital body (K10D, *istD and *istDL) compared with any of my many many 35mm SLRs...

Objective good, a matrix average. This picture is made on 1/1,4-1/1,7.

Isn't purple fringing partly because of the sensor?


Hmm... energetic photons tending towards the ultra-violet end of things? Just makes a mess of the optical plan down at the surface of the sensor if they're overlapping several sensor sites and pinging around like pool balls.

This lens was designed before digital SLR's. Why would newer lenses be worse? Confused


Because 'new' doesn't always mean 'improved'. The newer lenses are manufactured to a much tighter cost regime than the old ones ever were and a bit of penny-pinching here and there wouldn't be noticed by the vast majority of buyers.

I'd guess the newer lenses have a smaller exit pupil and the angle of the light rays is more acute toward the edges of the sensor. If it's generally true that older lenses with a more uniform spread of light from the rear element cause less of this sensor bloom, then there might be something to this idea.

As ever, this idea is free and worth what it cost you.

I see the fringing, but the perceived flatness may be because of the very weird lighting in there, with a domed ceiling painted to appear flat through a very clever trompe l'oeil .

First off, thank you for the photos of a very interesting church.


I've noted my Takumar 50's can get CA, the SMC worse than the Super. The 55's aren't as prone, and the 43 Limited has least of all.

I have a theory that apart from the sensor angles of acceptance thing, there's something else going on. The lens designer has some freedom at the 'sharpness / snap' region of resolution, which is above the absolute resolution. I suspect this is also the resonance of sensors and film grain, similar size ranges. That is why a given lens will lock with either film, or a sensor, or prefer one sensor over another.
