Red contours


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Hi. I'm a fairly new Leica owner. (CL with Summilux-TL 1,4/35.) I have searched this forum to find an explanation to the "red contours"-problem I have encountered, but didn't find the answer so I post this question.

See screenshot from Photoshop window, looking at 100% zoom of one of my recent photos. (f/1,4, shutter 1/2500, ISO 100.) Where does this red edge/contour come from? Looks a bit like the focusing aid you can choose when looking through the viewfinder. 

I didn't notice this problem when looking at the photos in the camera. It appears also when I check out the photo in my Mac computer's Finder window.

Thanks in advance for your help with this issue. /Peter L

I use this combination a lot and yes, that looks like classic CA you get from time to time with this lens To be fair your image would be a bit of a torture test for any lens (white birds against a dark background) and the 35 TL is struggling a bit.

In Lightroom use the dedicated chromatic aberration slider and pipette to select the exact shade of pink/red for removal. Should look great afterwards.
