already a few things where I thought the 20D could be improved, but those aside,
I’m not exactly thrilled this evening.
Mid and late afternoon I
took a few photos along the road and – unfortunately enough – purple fringing
(a.k.a. chromatic aberration) showed up a few times. I didn’t expect it could /
would be much of problem with this setup. Canon’s latest digital pro-sumer dSLR
with extra algorithms and especially developed lens for dSLRs should suppress
it, right? Not quite.

As
you can see, tree branches – which generally challenge digital cameras – also
prove quite problematic at times for the Canon EOS 20D with 17-85 EF-S lens.
Light purple halos around ice around rocks in a stream don’t look exactly
natural either.
