NEX 3 Lateral Chromatic AberrationDifferent wavelengths (colors) of light have different magnifications and produce colored halos around high contrast objects near the frame edges.

Distortion
The lens has minor, but more difficult to correct mustache distortion with a prominent barrel distortion of -0.58% (numeric average between all apertures), following shows the coefficients and a sample test chart. The 16mm alone had more prominent pincushion.

All data gathered using Imatest.
