I may have been a little harsh in the original statement, but I stand behind this is too much CA for a $1600 lens. Canon's samples prove DPP is reasonably good at removing it, but if the $100 50mm 1.8 STM is better than a newer $1600 lens with updated coatings, Canon has an issue. I get that a 1.4 lens is always going to have some aberration, but it just seems like more than what should be expected. Yes the 85mmm Art, and I suspect the Otus will have some, but I'll also venture out to say it's likely going to be significantly less than this one (I'm guessing about 50%). I honestly can't justify a lens at that price, where Canon expects its user to shoot it at narrow apertures or do a lot of lens correcting in post.

Oh well, maybe they'll get it right in their version 2.

Do you have any link for the lenses of other brands, such as Sony 85G, Nikon 85N, and Sigma 85Art?

All three mentioned above are on DPR's lens review section. Just select the lens and click the "Sample" tab. Just note, I don't know if all of them are raw in regards to applied corrections.
