Nice are those branches green, or is that the undistorted color?

The first shot is a Beech tree, and its real bark colour is near to a neutral grey. However, the winter sunshine is orange and the combination of this and the lens gives very inaccurate colours.

I didn't try to correct the colour balance, because weird colours are part of the fun.

Its hard to tell, it looks like you are getting mostly spherical aberation, as tastefully executed as it is.

I think ideally I would use an aspheric lens possibly with a field corrector.  I'm not sure there aren't simple lenses out there that do this already.  I know the petzval and anastigmats didn't do any chromatic aberation, but they did correct coma and spherical aberration.
