Some people use flash to create catch lights on the model's eyes but I don't
always like that. Zuiko 180/2.8 do has some CA but it is not critical for
portrait works unless the model wear black dress with white strips like that
one:

I would like to use smaller apertures but considering many of the background
are very close to the model I prefer to do wide open. Next year I may try
the 200/4, it do much better in CA.
