some items on the list are questionable, like the Canon 70-200 IS (really?) and the 135 ZA (nope) Zeiss 100/2 (full of LoCA WO), and especially not the 50 Summilux ASPH M...I have it, i love it, sharp at f1.4 but free of CA it is not.

why is the Zeiss APO 135 not on this list? zero LoCA @ f2..undetectable veiling @ f2
All lenses have some sort of LoCA, except the CoastalOpt 60mm Macro. (BTW, I found Sigma 180/2.8 OS Macro is very good in this regard.)
Your shot will not show visible LoCA, you need to shoot high contrast objects. Here is the one from Zeiss 135 APO at MFD + wide open.

the sample i posted is not the most ideal to show LoCA, but you will see it on the eyeballs of the subject's left eye for a n inferior lens.
i saw that shot but that's brutal for any lens...but the 135 APO fared very well, IMO...in fact, it was a deciding factor for me to get the lens. i've yet to see another lens that does better than that at f2 (at least the ones i own cannot do better)
i can't argue about the Coastal Optics because I rarely saw any shots with it let alone using one...
