Hello

I do not have a digital camera and am considering the Canon 20D. Most of the images I have seen from digital cameras have considerable Chromatic aberation, especially at the frame edges as well a sharp edged objects near the frame centre.

Yesterday I went to a shop and tried out a 20D with a 17-85 lens. I took some RAW images and bought them home.
I have been comparing the aberation correction in ACR31
and the new filter in CS2.
ACR is terrific. It completely corrects the aberation, wheras CS2 does not do a very good job. Perhaps it is the nature of RAW files.
Anyway ACR31 it makes a not very good lens into a pretty good one.

The problem is probably with the zoom lens.
Zooms have more problems all of the way around especially with flare. Why don’t you use a fixed focus lens if you seem to have a big problem with aberrations?
