Axial CA is very reasonable--it's often no present except WO and in bright contrast situations. Even then, it never takes more than 5 on the fringing tool remover in LR. It's much better than the FD 85 1.2 you reviewed. It's never ruined a photo, or been enough to cause gray blobs where purple/green use to be. I would say in that regard it's slightly worse than the OM 100 as the contrast of the lens is higher, but essentially the same. It's a non-issue. See first set of crops. My za 85 or 85 FD would fringe much worse.
Weight wise, 50g is not bad. The OM extends further when focusing all the way in addition to being larger/heavier, so the Minolta 100 feels better balanced and less heavy on the a7 to me. The OM has heavy feeling build, like a metal/brass type stuff. The Mino is more made of high quality plastics, so not as nice feeling, though doesn't feel cheap at all.
The one thing that is worse than the OM is the bokeh fringing. Bokeh on the Mino is busier (structurally) and higher contrast (color wise), and everyone once in a while I get fringing that's noticeable. I would say it's similar to the CY 100 f2. See 2nd set of crops. Obviously, bokeh fringing is harder to correct. By 2.8 is much much better, and f4 it's gone.
thanks
Sure
