With the CV 15mm on the M8, there's quite a lot of colour fringing in 
the corners, even if when using it with a uv-ir filter and coding it. 
You can fix the problem with some software called cornerfix, which is 
free, or presumably set up a profile in LR3 - no idea how, as I have 
only just started to get to grips with it.
