H4D60 and HC80. Top of the Empire State Building. Hazy day!
The 80 is often underrated but has excellent performance, is light, fast AF and produces great results.

you should limit the size to 900 Px so that one can see the whole picture or make a 100% crop if you prefer.
Regards, Stephan.
hi Stephan thanks for the comment - honestly i am battling a little with loading onto the site - can you give me a step by step on an export from aperture to ensure seeing the whole pic? thanks dean

you just have to resize the picture (scale down to 900 Px width) and create a smaller copy on hard disk before upload.
here a try with the 80mm HC. Sharpening default 100 in Phocus. I like the lens!
Ist such a strong CA normal??? H4D40 80mm2.8HC... The lens correction was on, but thers seems to be no difference between on and off!

I dont think it is Chromatic aberration that you see - it is more likely heavy edge diffraction which occurs when you have a sharp light source behind a sharp edge
Yes, it comes from serious overexposure of the background. I think you can get it with any lens.
When you light the background, make sure you just barely make it 255, don't overdo for more than half a stop.
Thanks Per and Alex. Here is the hole pic. Interesting (?) is, that I can see nothing in the tower behind and the edges of the roofs... I will attend more about that!
Hi
I get this all the time with the 100.
I've made a history action in PS and that gets rid of it well.
contact me if you need to know how.
Monty
Weird, i've yet to see it. I'm curious to your method though Monty. Can you post it? I do get it with some Canon lenses. I usually just pull back the saturation on the magenta assuming the subject doesn't have magenta in it.
This is indeed weird. I've never seen anything like it.
The sky is probably a couple or more stops brighter than the rest. It happens. If you expose, to make sure the sky is not blown out and then fix the shadows in phocus or PS it would be better.
You can use Hue/Saturation filter to get rid of the fringing. Set it to magenta, lower the saturation and adjust start and end points to include all the fringing. Hope it helps.
Tanks to all for the answers about my purple problem. I was a few days in the mountains to work and had no time to surf. So I will later try when the problem with the lenses starts. With the 28mm direct into the suns, white snow.... absolute no problem! lg, rem

Rem, just the sun will not cause the fringing. You need contrast. For example dark tree branches over the sun or over bright sky. Or another dark object.
Alex
Thanks Alex! I made the same sujet with the 35-90 and nearly same conditions, absolute no purple... My 80mm was no for long time with the camera in Scandinavia, but I will try again when the situation will be the same.
I like the 80 wide open by 2.8 availablelightsituations, I think it`s one of the best near the 100 2,2. TOP!

80 mm with three extension tubes: 13,26 and 52 mm
Hi guys,
I'm a very new owner of a H3dII-39 with 80 and 35 lenses. Before I got the camera and lenses i read a lot about lenses and wanted to have just the best, the sharpest lens available. But budget is quite tight and so "only" 80 and 35 were there.
The 80mm is just super super nice at 5,6!! WOW so sharp its unbelievable. but also very usable at 2,8 already. For distance shots i find 2,8 very sharp and for the closest focus, I think 0,7meter, there is a visible improvement from 2,8 to 5,6. Resolution increasment!
I find both lenses get less sharper if i use them above f8.
so I am reaaaly curios about the HDC 35-90 that i wanted to buy fist. Because I heard that it should be even more sharper! I can't imagine but... I'll see.
cheers, Martin

For the following test, I took a series of pictures at the end of a field with the camera slanted so that the horizon goes from corner to corner. Then I rotated the pictures and cut a small strip from corner to centre. The idea is to test the lens best aperture for a landscape picture.
