Thanks. So, it seems that it's the new computer like I suspected...

Thanks.
Happy to share, this was a lens I'd been contemplating for a while now. I'm pleased I sprung for it, it beats every other comparable 400-500mm lens or lens + TC combo I have, with one exception; the Sigma 120-400 DG OS HSM seems to be sharper and has very little CA, but I don't feel like that's a very good comparison. It's like lemons and limes, close but not the same.Thanks for posting these.The CA/PF performance seems good...
I do have to admin these images are PP'd specifically to minimize fringing, but I'm pretty happy if it's removeable at all. Some of the lenses I have can create such bad CA in that images are unsalvageable even with extensive processing or conversion to BW.
Definitely the 1st for me too. The second has a warmish pink cast to the face and shadows that makes it feel slightly unnatural. It's like if there was a red\pink object on the ground in front of the pup that's bouncing color up.
I double checked on both my laptop and tablet.

That's good! Both, my Canon fd 300mm f4 L and sigma 400mm f5.6 Apo also show some CA/PF at times, but usually is easily corrected, especially on the L lens.Happy to share, this was a lens I'd been contemplating for a while now.

My office, where I'm looking now, is kinda weird; very bright fluorescent lighting, and when I try to adjust exposure here, it comes out looking too bright at home. (And vice-versa.) So take this with a grain of salt.
I agree the first version looks more neutral, and probably better overall. That said, the second version reminds me of something taken in late golden hour/sunset - that kind of reddish-yellow glow you can get with a particularly nice reddening sun on the horizon. So it's not all bad.

Fuji GFX 50R with the Nikkor 105mm f2.5
I had some 30 minutes to play with a "rescued" AS-IS Rollei 135/4 that had very stiff focus, kludgy aperture ring and lazy blades. After quite more time than thought, and not after a number of frustrations (wires going from some aperture controls around the lens to some others...soldered? Tears...), it was back into one piece, A/M working, with snappy diaphragm, "clicky" aperture ring and smooth focus.
Since I have the Sonnar 2.8/135 I had never used this one. My thoughts on this lens is that while unremarkable in any very particular way, it's rendering is remarkable for being the right colors, transitions, graduations. There's nothing I don't like about it, except that it's not even sharper. The focusing distance is like 3 meters or so OHH.

The first one is cooler than the second one for sure. Second one has a lot of warmness in the white of the dog. I would go with the first one or somewhere in between.
