"He says we've got fringing."

"These pixel peepers will say anything!"

Hi,

I am pretty sure you are aiming this at me, and you may be right. I had the 300/4 since film days but I bought the 400/4.5 in 2006, the 300/4 has seem little use since then. I looked at a lot of the 2005 images and I feel that my comments made some injustice to the 300/4, the images are better than what I did recall. It seems that the color fringing I complained about was mostly on overexposed images. At that time I did not understand that the issue I have seen was axial chroma, although I was familiar with the issue in theory.

I still feel that I am less happy with the 300/4, but the case is much weaker than I thought.

Best regards
Erik

Its general humor at photographers. It came up due to looking at old images from our discussion but it is not aimed at you or anyone. It's a play on words of the shedding winter coat as "fringe".

To be more clear, a fur "fringe" is used on the hoods or collars of some coats. That is another definition of the word outside of photography.
