>>3102481Sony shooter here, I have a Zeiss 85mm 1.4 that fringes (thankfully nowhere near as bad as my Rokinon) and I'm shooting on the A99ii. Many times, CA has interfered with a lo-ap photo and automatic removal in programs like Lightroom can mean that borders on similar-colored objects can end up compromised.
If you think that CA doesn't affect photos, I've noticed a lot of photos I've exported where the fringing around high contrast edges like my girlfriend's hair created a purple halo effect. Even after correction, the region that once contained color now ends up like a "ghost" fringe that doesn't contain the purple or green hues, but still compromises fine detail.
I'd gladly pay for all the features this lens brought to me, without the CA at 1.4-2.2, where I like using this lens most.
Pixel peeping is no different than a chef insisting he samples each ingredient in his dish. Not a necessary step because "garlic is garlic" but some of us like to work on pixel-level. Don't become obsessed with it, but understand the necessity to start with the best.
Ever since I've gone to 42mp I can't go back. The cropping ability and sharpness is just too good.
