All these lenses are manual focus and the only one not having problems producing lots of purple fringing seems to be the VS 100-300mm which is quite expensive, only manual, not very fast and has issues with the rear lens glue.
Had the opportunity to buy a TT 200mm 3.5 recently for only 150$. Did not touch it as I did not want to have another heavy MF tele lens with lots of purple fringes. I also will not touch any expensive manual focus APO 200mm anymore. Next will be an AF APO... Of the manual lenses the Leica R APO 3.4 180mm is the most tempting to me.
The C/Y 2.8 28mm, C/Y 1.7 50mm, C/Y 1.4 85mm, C/Y 3.5 100mm, C/Y 35-70, C/Y 2.8 60mm, C/Y 80-200mm are still in use but the tele lenses 2.8 135mm, 2.8 180mm, 4 300mm are not satisfying to my needs - too heavy, not well corrected enough and missing AF. However, I have to say that I like the bokeh of the C/Y 2.8 180mm...
