Abu is soooooo right about that  I have used two different 85's and they both had the same problem.  Out doors in bright sun light with a high contrast shot, you can get HUGE amounts of purple fringing.  This can be so bad its very hard to save the picture  For the money it is a very good lens if you can live with the PF.
