In extreme circumstances almost any lens will do that. With this lens, it happens rarely, and when it does it is always fixable. I’ve had a few lenses where this was a big issue, but this lens is not one of them.
And yes, sample variation is real. My version 1 copy was worse.
Not in extreme circumstances. Seeing similar reports of excessive fringing on Reddit too. Regardless, there is a mk II for sale near me, I am tempted to get that and see how it goes. I would have ideally liked the Oly 20 f1.4 pro but those are rare birds. This would do fine in the meanwhile.
Being that I don't consider myself a landscape photographer this is probably the first time I've ever typed the words "purple fringing"
After reading your post I went into the backyard and shot this bare tree. It's very overcast right now so I have no idea if this is the proper scenario. Honestly I'm not even sure what is acceptable or what to look for but it appears pretty severe to me wide open and better stopped down. I have no idea how this compares to other lenses in this category. If I'm shooting a landscape I'd most likely be at f5.6 or f8 where it should improve further I suppose. On top of that, my primary use for this lens will not be landscape. I could try it but too lazy to go back outside
