zooms will always have a little more CA than primes, that's just the nature of the beast of lenses.

I don't know if it's a focus issue but for some reason the S4/i lenses seem to be slightly sharper to my eye. Thoughts Ryan?

probably focus.
The point being this. The Panchros are essentially a set of S4's permanently stuck at F2.8. Tack sharp wide open, and color matched. Jsut 1/3 the cost for a full set.Director of Photography

I didn't necessarily do the test specifically to compare sharpness. From what I remember they were about identical. At certain times I swear the Panchro/i lenses were sharper... at other times the S4/i's but this is with a 4k file enlarged about 800%. You would not notice a difference in 1080, I know that. I'll go back and look again. To do things correctly, we really should use proper charts.
