Hi Fabio,

Thanks for your comments.

I have not seen the chromatic aberration problem so far but I have only had
the lens for a few weeks. Looking at the edges at 100% in the original files
I don't see anything objectionable, a hint of glow on some of them but at
the sizes I am going to use these at it presents no problem. They where shot
at f4 mostly with 400 iso and in A mode. 

As far as the popularity of soccer in the US goes its all about the women's
game round here. Coming from the UK it took a little getting used to seeing,
not that I was much of a footy buff back there. High School soccer is
popular and just a fiercely played as any game I saw in the UK. I think the
game got a big boost in the late 90's though it is no way near the rest of
the world yet.

Thanks, Dan S.

Daniel, did you notice any blue or purple halo around light subjects in your
full size shots? Judging from these reduced images everything seems OK,
indeed...

I wonder why that (in)famous "cromatic aberration problem" the 180 f/2.8 is
so renowed for has not shown up this time... :)

Do you remember the aperture you took these shots at?

Thanks for your help!

Fabio

And now a slightly OT question: do you confirm that soccer is growing in
popularity there in the USA, especially in High School and colleges? Just
curious about that (you know, common folklore says that here in Italy we eat
bread and soccer, so I can't prevent myself from asking... :)
