I was wondering if there are any lens that distortion colors on purpose to add color. I've seen the prism lens and filters, but I am thinking of something more like a fisheye lens than a lens ball. Specifically, not making multiple images or facets, but excentuating a normal image with CA.

I imagine soething could be achieved digitally by tweaking a CA correction the wrong way.

I was thinking about this more.  Most CA looks especially bad because it's just a blue and red edge.  Maybe to accentuate the CA a lens could make a better spread separating more colors more uniformly, sort of rainbow edges.
