I recently bought a xf56mm and I love it so far. I just noticed one thing that i haven't noticed with my other lenses. A lot of purple flare around street lights and street signs and what I read online that is a common issue with the XT2? but to have it on every sign street light? is that normal for this lens? it doesn't happen in every photo

Can you provide a sample to see what exactly is our issue, other wise we can only guess

Are we talking CA on high contrast edges? A picture is worth a thousand words - include info if poss.

I've had it quite a few times; it's been pretty well documented that it's an internal reflection of the sensor grid.

Once I learned what it was it's trivial to get rid of it; shifting the angle even just a tiny amount always gets rid of it.

That does not look like the purple grid pattern that has been reported. Any chance you can put the raw file on Dropbox?
