Rich October Sun
at the Shoren'in Temple (青蓮院), Kyoto Japan
I paid a visit today to the Shouren'in Temple (青蓮院) in Eastern Kyoto for a repeat of the Ikebana (生花; flower-arranging) event that last year produced all these posts:
· Busy Hallway at Kyoto’s Shoren’in Temple
· Serene Photos to Calm the Nerves
· Cute and Colorful Scene at the Shoren’in Temple
· More Pleasantness From The Shoren’in Temple Ikebana Event
· Revisiting Flower Arrangements at the Shoren’in Temple

Today's visit won't produce so much, but this post is a first run at some of the shots I took...

The light was really harsh today; somehow, it was better last year.

Cliché Bamboo
Legendary CV125 show some violet fringing ??
It’s a joke. —Jeffrey
Got mine today in Canon EF mount to be used with 5D2.
It shows the same fringing habit at wide open like yours photo with the extreme high contrast condition.
Any suggestion?
IT WAS A JOKE… the picture shows a white flower with purple fringe. That’s the real flower, not chromatic aberration. —Jeffrey
Haha…
I mean the photo named ‘Cliché Bamboo’. I can see purple fringe at the edge of bamboo (near the sun, upper left) and on the small branch the right of the photo. May be I am too much pixel peeping…ha ha.
BTW, it is an excellence lens indeed in many other aspects other than the CA proof. I tested the lens by comparing with Sigma 180mm F3.5 Macro and Sigma 50mm F2.8 Macro. They are all have purple fringing (including CV125) at wide open and high contrast situation e.g. white text on black surface on the lens barrel but I can say that CV125 is the best among them. By stopping down the aperture, the purple fringing is reduced significantly.
Ah, I see. Purple fringing is so common that I’m used to it… I guess I tune it out. I revisited the bamboo photo in Lightroom and bumped the “Defringe” amount from 0 to a little something, and the purple disappeared, so that’s one way to handle it. —Jeffrey
