That's my issue with Canon lenses. Awful purple fringing on every wide
angle shot. Not to mention problems with auto-focus that make manual focus
much faster and loss of detail because of the AA filter. Nobody on the
stock lists believes me when I talk about how much better Leica lenses are.
Nobody cares. Canon is good enough, I guess. Not for me.
