But if you don't know what TCA is, can it hurt you? 


And if you are unable to comprehend what appears to be higher math, will it 
hurt you?

The question then becomes whether this correction works well for CA-like 
artifacts from non-telecentric lenses on thick 
sensor stacks. Understand, I don't care a whit, for my own photography, but am 
pedantically asking the logical question. 

As I recall, when Roger at LensRentals first looked at a Metabones, he found 
that it performed poorly on the bench, 
until a fat, flat glass slab was put in the optical path, to simulate the 
sensor stack, and then did well. So it seems 
they correct the problem?
