The red/green fringing in the original image is clearly chromatic aberration
in the lens, because it is prevalent near the edges of the picture and not
in the middle.

This image is quite a bit sharper than anything I can get with my 10D.
However, that I assume is due to the diffuser over the sensor, since I'm
sure my 17-40mm L lens isn't the limiting factor. Too bad the diffuser can't
be flipped in and out, since the extra sharpness would be nice in situations
where moire isn't an issue. I think this particular test image (the
Nicholson St. building) looks really good.
