I've noticed since getting my repaired 16-50 back that the edges (especially at 16mm) appear to "smear" magenta/green across the edges of objects near the outer edges. I've wondered if this is "normal" or if I'm just pixel-peeping too much. Web-sized it's almost noticable... http://charles.robinsontwins.org/twinsdays/2008/content/IMGP2034_large.html 100% crop it's as obvious as the nose on my face: http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2008/imgp2034_crop.jpg Is it time for me to send this in (again)? First repair was for a barrel which was coming apart, and part of me worries that they reassembled it incorrectly and wrecked something which used to be good. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
