Paralysis by analysis. It's common problem here. Have been known to fall victim to it myself.
Expose your images properly, work more on composition, and enjoy being outside in a beautiful environment with your dog would be my 2 cents

I think it is the effect of defocused and thus semi-transparent edges gradually darkening the sky portion behind it.
Stuff you can see on helicopterblades for example, even though the transparency comes from motionblur in this case. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Mh60S_Training_Flight_1.jpg
Yes, I guess it is possible. Although, I think I see this effect with different intensity depending on the lens used (& exposure, etc.). So, I still think there is some CA to it...

This is really me being curious I guess.
I notice this effect more with 24GM than other lenses in such conditions. Maybe it's becasue of wider fov, maybe because of wide aperture.
To me, the effect is similar to the fringing/CA (it might be a mixture of both I think too, as it happens near the edges of the frame, but does not seem to be affected too much by changing focus point) tests I see in reviews. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the examples I've provided don't demonstrate well what I have in mind.
I'll try to dig up some better ones.
You are presenting the classic torture test. "Trees or tree branches against a blown out sky, or horizon.
I am leaning toward chromatic aberration in general based upon the description below. The next step is to determine which kind of CA as many lenses can exhibit behaviors of both. "Unfortunately, many lenses have both longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberrations present at the same time. The only way to reduce these aberrations, is to stop down the lens (to reduce LoCA) and then fix lateral CA in post-processing software like Lightroom and Photoshop."
"Chromatic aberration is caused by lens dispersion, with different colors of light travelling at different speeds while passing through a lens. As a result, the image can look blurred or noticeable colored edges (red, green, blue, yellow, purple, magenta) can appear around objects, especially in high-contrast situations."
Which kind of CA?
Maybe a good high level summary:
LoCA, Axial
"Lenses with Longitudinal Chromatic Aberration problems can show fringing around objects throughout the image, even in the center. Red, Green, Blue or a combination of these colors can appear around objects. Longitudinal Chromatic Aberration can be dramatically reduced by stopping down the lens. Fast aperture prime lenses are typically much more prone to LoCA than slower lenses."
LaCA or Lateral
"Unlike LoCA, Lateral Chromatic Aberration never shows up in the center and is only visible towards the corners of the image in high-contrast areas. Blue and purple fringing is often common on some fisheye, wide-angle and low-quality lenses. Unlike Longitudinal Chromatic Aberration, Lateral Chromatic Aberration cannot be removed by stopping down the lens, but can be removed or reduced in post-processing software."

So many 35s on the B&S forum today. Lol.
Everything from f/1.2 to f/2.8 and 24 GM to Batis 40 is listed for sale. This GM has single handedly reduced prices of all other 35s.
So true. Sony has single handily reduced the value of my CV 35mm 1.2 by half if I'm lucky. But not complaining because I've been waiting for this lens for a long time.

I am not seeing people dumping their CV 35 f1.2 SE, yet. I am keeping mine, it's a fun lens. Some of the Voigtlander lenses' value have dropped like rocks. I remember paying $1100 for the CV 40mm f1.2 when it came out few years ago, now you can get one on the B&S board for $600.

Well, I tried in anticipation of the GM announcement and could not get a taker for 600 so I don't think it's going to be any better now. The lens is fabulous but being a recovering lens hoarder I only keep what fits in my bag now a days. I'm fairly confident the GM will be glued to my A7riv so I'm not carrying 2 35mm

The GM's 35/1.4 price set for EU is 1700 Euro.Insane.I presume that within 1,5-2 years the price should eventually drop to about 1200-1300 Euro as it is the case with GM 24/1.4.Then the time for purchase will eventually come.
