[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1436535, member: 98561"] Chromatic Aberration it's an optical error that usually presents as color fringing around the edges of vibrant targets. Lots never notice it nor care about it, as it wont effect your ability to hit the target. That said i notice it and it annoys me quite a bit. Especially in a $2000+ optic. In the 1000-1500 i expect it. Above $2000 and i expect it be controlled greatly. The Mark 5 had pretty great CA control, wasn't perfect and most scopes aren't but it was good. Take the K624i from Kahles, it's a $3000 optic that suffers quite a bit from CA for it's price. I now own one because i love everything about the optic except it's CA control. Especially the reticle, which after using it at a match on friends rifle i sold the Mark 5 and found a good priced on a used K624i. Everything else about the Kahles i love and i preordered a K525i, hoping that it rectifies the short comings of the k624i. Simply looking at a light post 200yds or so with mine and it's prevalent. Here's Bill's picture from his review of the Kahles on top and mine i took at my apartment. Granted it's more exaggerated in the pictures as the Camera induces more CA. It's not that prevalent to my eye as it is in my photo but it is there. [ATTACH=full]97051[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]97052[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
