... too sharp: it creates very strong aliasing and false details

The direct sunlight on all that stainless steel made for some crazy light. To get any chance of normalcy I had to raise the angle of the lens. Here is what happens pulled back a bit. Maybe use of the K3M3 anti-aliasing filter?

Camera, lens or both?

I'm sorry manual_focus and Doug, it was just a (apparently very bad) joke

I was comparing the weird look of this building with "false details" as there were some discussions about it recently, but no there is no trace of aliasing/moiré/false details in this image.

On your second image, I think we can see some chromatic aberrations and (maybe) overexposure, but it might be only CA I'm not sure. But no, again, I don't think it has anything to do with aliasing or that AA filter would make any change.
