The 17/1.8 has more red/cyan lateral CA. The 20/1.7 has more purple/green fringing, which I think is a combination of longitudinal CA and spherochromatism (definitely not sensor blooming - everywhere you see the purple fringing, you also see green fringing. Clearly some sort of optical aberration).

Amin,

do you mean with that if there is purple 'fringing' but no green fringing it might not be lens related but sensor blooming?

The 17/1.8 is faster than the 45 and similar to the 12/2.
