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

The original review pointed out the CXX had a slightly less 'flat-field' perspective. Probably also why it has more aberration than the primes? I bet so.


What do you think? Take a look at the 'Arri' hat, and you'll see the same results.

I agree, thanks for looking deeper into it Ryan.

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.
 
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.
