Re: Telephoto Lens?

Barry , the issue with some of the older lenses is CA and PF .

The APO lenses tend to control this well , but earlier lenses may well be apocromatically corrected but weren't badged as APO .

It's basically marketing thing , like asapheric lenses being badged as such .

The reason I point out its mainly just film I've used the 300mm MD lens on is the CA and PF is more a problem on digital .

If it showed on film , it would need to be a particularly bad lens !

If your in no hurry , when I get a day off while it's bright I can take some shots on an e mount camera so you can judge for yourself .

Some tree branches against an overcast sky should answer that .

At the moment it's just dull and grey over here and probably where you are too .

It's dark when I leave for work and dark when I get back too !
