But I have noticed that woith a sharply focused dark edge against a medium/light background I get definite colour fringing (over a very small area) and the same sort of effect that you get with over-enthusiatic use of the sharpen filter in Photoshop - the edge detaches from the background and is delimited by a definite zone of brightness. Is all this normal for this lens? I shoot E100SW almost exclusively. The overall look of slides made with this lens, though, is simply stunning - - luminous, sharp and yet gentle colour, especially with natural light. I think I'm going to have to get another M lens...
