I will check this today. Can you guys post some samples?
Here's one photo where I observed a magenta tint in the corners. It was taken with Loxia 21mm at f/8, no filters, three images stacked for DOF (but the individual photos show this also). Lens profile correction and CA correction applied in ACR. I must admit though, that vibrance and saturation were boosted quite a bit out of the ordinary for me (40 each).

i don't think Dropbox allows their images to be embedded.

That flower closeup looks really nice, Fred. I should just be done with it and get the Lox, and not keep debating over the Milvus 25/1.4. My back and wallet will both thank me.

If I get clear sky tonight, I will test it for coma and compare it to the Lox21.
Great. rvh23 posted a coma test on 3/26 but I don't think compared it the Lox 21. The Lox 25 seems a bit slow for astro but perhaps will be good enough. The Zuiko 24/2.8 which is tiny has a bunch of coma until really stopped down.

Can’t imagine it that much better at F4 . The Loxia is perfect in every way. Corners are killer and CA is gone . I would not buy a bigger lens given the IQ here.

I would go for the Milvus if I was mostly shooting wide open at f/1.4 but first I would wait and see what the rumored 24/1.4GM is all about. Having said that, usually when I'm shooting 25mm the amount of blur is not what I'm after and care more about bokeh 'quality'. In that case, the compact Loxia 25 makes more sense to me.

Last couple ones from today. One at the coffee shop and another showing the known Loxia's 10-point sunstar. I find this lens has great flare resistance.
