    Hi Daniel...


    SorryI could not include a larger image, and my terminology may be incorrect. But if you were to look at the sunglasses, in particular the right side, you will see some 'fringing' taking place. It's more noticeable via the following link:

    Thanks so much for the response.

    Thanks, now that I look at the larger size image it's easier for me to see it. I see the Purple Fringing on the specular reflection on the sunglasses. I don't know for sure, but I would guess that that amount of PF is normal for that lens.

    I've posted a similar thread in another forum, and was informed that it could also be due to the sunglasses on the subject, is this possible or make sense?

    It's definitely possible. PF is often caused or exacerbated by infrared light. If the sunglasses reflect more IR than visible light, it may cause more PF than glasses that reflect IR and visible light equally.
