What gets me is how so many people are quick to
delcare a product to be defective, flawed, etc., where
a choice was made between two conflicting criteria --
high perfomrance on WA lenses at the edges and
corners, vs. increased IR sensitivity causing the
occasional black/magenta cast. Since the latter is
correctable in image production, and the former not, I
for one would agree o the choice that was made.
Particularly where IR sensitivity can sometimes be
desireable. Can you imagine the tirades if an IR
filter was preset causing corner/edge softness?
