Purple shift was seen on the first Sony A7X cameras but not the latest - and likely not on Canon R and Nikon Z cameras neither. What can still be seen is corner smear with some - but not all - rangefinder WA lenses. It is also seen with some of the newer 35 and 50mm Leica M lenses but not with the older non asph 35 and 50mm lenses (type IV and earlier). Please note that corner softness wide open with non asph lenses is not necessarily corner smear due to the sensor stack but an inherent characteristic of non asph lenses.

I know all about that, and with the lens I have the purple shift on the R is there unfortunately (not with A7s, which I also have), just like with others, so I am looking to find one that does not have this problem, and this lens seems to be one of them, if the RP and R behave the exact same way, which hasn't been compared yet.
