Re: canon 50mm 1.8 stm chromatic aberration

Yes, this is normal. I've forgotten what this specific kind of CA is called, but it's normal at wide apertures to have one color on sharp edges beyond the plane of focus, and the other color in front of the plane of focus. It should be fairly easy to remove in a program like Lightroom.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
