Gang, I have tried to sum up some experiences from the first two days of shooting with the *istD and various lenses on a webpage: http://home.online.no/~jooksne/istd/aberration.html
No big images, but lots of crops. Shouldn't load too slowly, though. There's a big table in there which will be too wide for many screens, I know, but it was what I ended up with, and I'm too tired to recast it now. Sorry about the inconveniece and hope you can cope... For those who don't bother, here's a brief conclusion: I couldn't detect any chromatic aberrations in any lens when stopped down to f/8 or f/11, except the FA*400/5.6. For wide open apertures i found: The FA*28-70/2.8 is one bloody good lens! The FA 28-70/4 is poor in terms of sharpness and contrast, but has no aberration. The FA 100/2.8 macro has clearly visible aberrations. The FA*400/5.6 has moderate aberrations, that doesn't go away when stopping down. Sigma APO 70-200/2.8 has bad aberrations at 70mm, but not at 200mm. Cheers, Jostein -
