You mentioned the color in the bulls fur. I posted links to multiple images of Black Angus cattle made with multiple cameras which showed purple/blue color. Did you actually "look" at them???

The first image you showed to prove your point was an oil painting.

Sometimes the blotching appearance is natural and sometimes it isn't, but if you look for it long and hard enough you may find it. If it's a big problem for you, don't use Sigma cameras - it's really quite simple.

I use Sigma cameras because i like their general image quality and like others i spent many thousand dollars (actually francs) for Sigma cameras and lenses. The only thing i expect is an improvement of some of the weaknesses over the last generation. But the blotching is clearly getting worse

Purple fringing was very common with some model Sony cameras a few years ago. It was easily removed or ameliorated and it didn't stop photographers from making beautiful images with these cameras. It's incredibly easy to remove the blue/purple color from the fur of black animals regardless of whether it is natural or a sensor fault. Lin

Easy or not, i would get bored, removing all the blotches and strange color noise in an image like this:
a special photo
