Hi Paul,
Yes I've seen this set of reviews - it's the first 10 or so that have me worried.
They all comment on "horrific CA" in some way or another. They also comment on how sharp the lens is too! A few of my Pentax lenses exhibited bad CA on brighter stars, and although I know that it can't be eliminated at my price point, I want to be sure I'm not buying my way into similar problems.. Spent far too long trying to remove purple halos in PS - life's too short.
Is the only route the "L" way!!??
Cheers
Doug

ps the 100mm f2.8 macro is a wee bit more expensive than $600, even on ebay
