Zeiss ZF.2 100mm f/2 Makro-Planar

Published in my Guide to Zeiss ZF.2 / ZE Lenses is a new page exploring the longitudinal chromatic aberration of the Zeiss 100mm f/2 Makro-Planar, using the 36-megapixel Nikon D800E.

Readers occassionally write to inquire about the violet fringing seen at f/2 with the Zeiss 100mm f/2 Makro-Planar. In this latest piece I show and explain this behavior, including multiple crops and the individual color channels, and how stopping down behaves.
