I wonder if the OP is not referring to lateral/transverse chromatic aberration, but rather to the longitudinal/axial kind, also called bokeh fringing, demonstrated by this old Optical Limits review: https://opticallimits.com/fuji_x/1014-fuji50f2?start=1

(I don't have the 50mm f2, but have always been intrigued by it!)

Longitudinal CA is something I am not familiar with how it is compensated for optically. I understand how lateral CA is produced and compensated for.

But yes, maybe he is referring to Longitudinal CA, which shows up in the bokeh highlights as light blues. I think the 23mm f/2 suffers from it in extreme cases, but for the most part I love the lens.
