As long as there are no backlit leaves on a tree. While the purple fringing 
could arguably be called bokeh when the image is grayscaled, it bothers me 
that the artifacts are there. 

And a Canon lens that I DO like is the 50/1.4 LTM from about 45 years ago. 
Not as good as the 50/1.4 Nikkor RF lens from about 45 years ago, but both 
are pretty good. I haven't had issues with Olympus glass made for the 
Olympus dLSR. But those digicams with preposterously huge range zooms leave 
me cold.
