The first, overexposed photo was shot with aperture f9 and the second slightly less overexposed photo is f6.3. Makes me suspect you have a lens with a sticky aperture. Perform a simple test by shooting some test shots in aperture priority mode. Start at f4 (wide open), does these look okay? Then try f11. If the later shots are overexposed, the lens is most likely the culprit.

I also see a lot of fringe and CA in the shots. Are they crops or full?

Yeah, bingo. No way those trees in the background of the 1st shot would be so OOF at that distance at f9 and there's also way too much CA (even for the beercan) at that aperture. That shot occurred either wide open or certainly under f5 based on those clues alone.
