I know these get interchanged often, but I understood there was a difference, and after reading the review of the 85mm f/1.8 on photozone.de, which states that the lens has no problems with CA (colour shadows at high contrast edges) at any aperture, but has strong purple fringing at high contrast edges, I thought I’d ask here to further clarify.
