... When you put on glasses that you haven't worn for quite some time, and notice that they suffer from CA.

Yup, I wore my glasses this morning because my eyes didn't want to deal with contacts due to allergies, and I finally had to put in new contacts because I couldn't stand the red/blue fringing on things I was looking at when i would be at an odd angle.

That's pretty extreme :)

Ah, well, I wear glasses all the time, so I'd never notice.

Actually, I get a bit of CA from my glasses as well, when I get way off axis. I'm sure that there's a solution, but I suspect that fluorite lenses would be both heavy and expensive. :)

It is just strange because I work so hard to avoid anything like that when I am shooting...

Unless I'm way off-base, CA is Chromatic Abberation... That's what you get from the light not going through the lenses perfectly, and refracting some of the spectrum out of where it should be...

It would be what you get from cheaper lenses sometimes...

I'm trying to make an example, but apparently I got a good version of the kit lens... I'll keep trying...

That's interesting since I have 20-20 vision but have special glasses that straighten out the light for me so I see things darker, like USM for my eyes. So, no CA, just USM for me.

Now I'm upset with my kit lens... Even though I tried, I can't get any CA and my pictures came out sharp... WTH? Darn piece of crap not being enough of a piece of crap. I thought it could be counted on to give me CA. Hehe.

Another indicator of turning into an L-junkie is the uncontrolable urge to share with POTN family the CA in glasses :D

That's what extreme CA looks like.

You know you're turning into an L junkie when spending $900 on a lens sounds too good to be true.

When you start wearing glasses with a thin red line on them...well, you're in definite danger ;) of becoming an L junkie...

Throw away your glasses, just disassemble two 200mm f/1.8L's and use the front elements as glasses. Should be doing fine without CA.
