In all seriousness Mark - I doubt that you are getting it with the
aspherics. But that doesn't mean that you're not getting gorgeous images
with those new lenses.

I got it on 11x14's ten years ago from a new 50 Summicron which was
mainly stopped down a few. It was a glow and certainly a whole different
look i was getting from my Nikon lenses. Its hard to think of it as an
aberration instead of a positive thing. But maybe that is the case.
Perhaps I'm not getting it with my modern Asph's.
