Here's a corner from an image I shot earlier today :
Not very pretty is it? I'm far from impressed with this performance. I shot it as a Superfine Jpeg at 7mm f4.0. I know it was a pretty demanding shot - hard, dark edges against a very bright sky but - really - I get less CA than this with my wife's Sony P&S! I had read somewhere (can't remember where though) that the reason the Lumix 7-14 is so light is that CA and other optical imperfections are dealt with by software in camera. If this is the case than it seems that the Olympus doesn't understand how to translate "Panasonic". And I've just sold my G1 so can't check the lens out on that.
And - annoyingly - I can't remove it with the CA tools in Lightroom or CS4. They have no effect on it at all.
Is anybody else experiencing this problem? And if so, is there a solution - other than avoiding using the lens under such challenging conditions?
