Default Hologon 16mm on M8

I finally got hologon back from converting contax-->leica mount with 6 bit coded as tri-elmar.
I attached 3 files. Two color and one b&w.
Because I don't have 21mm viewfinder. So framing is quite bad.
Just want to share how it looks like on M8.
There is magenta cast at the corner of the frame. I really don't know how to fix it.
I have tried both with circular graduate filter on and off. No different.

Does anyone know how to fix this otherwise this lens is good for b&w only.

You can check this on your own setup, but I found a little less magenta fringing by setting the WATE menu on the M8 to 21mm. After that, I believe we need a software solution.

Thanks Claus and Michael for the advise.
I am trying to figure out how to use cornerfix.
And I never think of setting 21mm WATE.
Hope it is better.
