Re: Comparison Test: Leica 14-50mm vs Zukio Digital 14-54mm
-----------------------------------
Hello Tomcat,


Hi chancy,

To my eyes, another observation from these test shots seemed to be that there is greater propensity for the Leica to exhibit CA than the ZD. Do you also feel that way? 

Panasonic has claimed that the Venus Engine III will correct for CA in the out-of-camera jpegs. Maybe this is another test that has to be done to verify their claim.  :)


Your observation is true, indeed, CA is noticeably present on the Leica especially the edge samples and at larger apertures. And since the test environment is not one that induces a lens to produce CA, it may be likely that the lens is CA prone when lighting turns adverse in real world shooting. Thanks for pointing me to this phenomenon.

It would be nice to verify the claim on the Venus Engine. But I think you have a battery more of tests to conduct which I'm sure the Olympus internet community by now is appreciative of.

Your contribution has again been very insightful & useful, and may I with your permission transfer this post to Mytikas Knowledge Base.

Cheers,
