Shel, Godfrey is right. Rob was the one to note chromatic aberration as a digital problem. I've used the lens and absolutely love it on film and have found no problems on digital. (maybe I'm not critical enough?) It is really terrific to have a fast, wide prime on the DS. It will remind you of the 35mm f2. And it balances OK for a big lens. Regards, Bob S.
