Also, if you make 8x10's, or just post on the web you might not notice. If you shoot for a newspaper, you certainly can't see it in the result, unless it is very bad - and yes, I have seen it in some shots because, as Tina has mentioned, once you have had problems with it, you get rather sensitive to it. It's not just Canon; it's most maker's lenses including a lot of old Leica lenses. Only the best and usually the most recent lenses don't have any visible CA. Interestingly, the in-camera corrections by the Panasonic G1 probably fix chromatic aberrations as well as some other lens faults so that a very inexpensive lens design can lead to output that is of quite high quality. Best is of course if you have an outstanding lens in front of a sensor that doesn't dumb down the file. Like a 28 Summicron or 75 AA on an M8. -- * Henning J.
