Tina,

I know nothing about chromatic aberration, color fringing and the like for
the Canon, even after looking on Google.  I have some Canon L lenses, and
the full-frame Canons seem attractive.  Can you point me to some sites or
images that would show the effects?  I am interested in things that show up
on prints, say up to 16x20X.  Thx much.

Ken
